European Union (EU) Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive
The European Union’s WEEE directive requires that products sold into EU countries must have the crossed out trashbin label on the product (or the package
in some cases).
As defined by the WEEE directive, this cross-out trashbin label means that customers and end-users in EU countries should not dispose of electronic and
electrical equipment or accessories in household waste.
Customers or end-users in EU countries should contact their local equipment supplier representative or service centre for information about the waste collection
system in their country.
CMM labeling and disclosure table
The People’s Republic of China requires that Motorola’s products comply with
China Management Methods (CMM) environmental regulations. (China
Management Methods refers to the regulation Management Methods for
Controlling Pollution by Electronic Information Products.) Two items are used to
demonstrate compliance; the label and the disclosure table.
The label is placed in a customer visible position on the product.
• Logo 1 means that the product contains no substances in excess of the
maximum concentration value for materials identified in the China
Management Methods regulation.
• Logo 2 means that the product may contain substances in excess of the
maximum concentration value for materials identified in the China
Management Methods regulation, and has an Environmental Friendly
Use Period (EFUP) in years, fifty years in the example shown.
Logo 1 Logo 2
The Environmental Friendly Use Period (EFUP) is the period (in years) during
which the Toxic and Hazardous Substances (T&HS) contained in the Electronic
Information Product (EIP) will not leak or mutate causing environmental pollution
or bodily injury from the use of the EIP. The EFUP indicated by the Logo 2 label
applies to a product and all its parts. Certain field-replaceable parts, such as
battery modules, can have a different EFUP and are marked separately.
The Disclosure Table is intended only to communicate compliance with China
requirements; it is not intended to communicate compliance with EU RoHS or any
other environmental requirements.

MTS Overview
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
This chapter provides an overview of the Motorola TETRA Station (MTS). This should give you an
overview of what MTSs are, what they do, and the modules that they are comprised of.
The MTS is one type of Base Station that can be used in a Dimetra IP communication system. A
Base Station serves as the Radio Frequency (RF) interface between the system infrastructure and the
mobile stations. Base Stations in a trunked system have three primary interfaces:
• A receiver to pick up the RF signal from the mobile stations
• A transmitter to send RF signals to the mobile stations
• A wireline interface to send audio and control traffic to the system infrastructure
Strategically placed base stations allow users to communicate with one another, dispatch
operators or telephone users using the Dimetra IP system.
This chapter includes the following topics:
• "MTS Platform"
• "MTS LiTE Components"
• "MTS 2 Components"
• "MTS 4 Components"
• "Expansion Cabinet Components"
• "MTS Modules"
MTS Platform
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
The MTS provides the interface between the mobile stations within the Dimetra IP system and
the rest of the system infrastructure. The main functions of the MTS are:
• Radio link formatting, coding, timing, framing, and error control
• Timing control supervision to mobile stations (Timing Advance)
• Radio link quality measurements (Signal Quality Estimate)
• Site to site frame synchronization
• Interface translation - radio link to network equipment
• Switching functions between multiple base transceivers (radio carriers)
• Air Interface Encryption
• Local Site Trunking
• Operation, maintenance, and administration agent
MTS LiTE is the smallest of the three versions and supports one Base Radio. MTS 2 is the middle size
version of the MTSs and supports one to two Base Radios. MTS 4 is the largest of the three versions,
and with the expansion cabinet installed it supports one to eight Base Radios.
MTS LiTE, MTS 2 and MTS 4 are built up inside cabinets. The MTS cabinets comprise card cages (the same
card cage is used in MTS 2 and MTS 4 while a separate card cage type is used in MTS LiTE), which in turn
house different configurations of modules, for example, Power Supply Units, Base Radios, and Site Controllers.
These modules provide the MTS's functionality. Different configurations and number of modules determine
the MTS's functionality and capacity. Each of these modules is described in more detail in this manual.
The MTSs are managed by the system infrastructure's Network Management (NM) applications.
Communication between the MTSs and the NM applications takes place through an Ethernet, E1
or X.21 link. Through this link, the NM applications can download new configuration files to the
MTSs and receive alarm/event and performance statistics from them.
The three versions of MTS are, in general, very similar in terms of functionality and the
modules that they are comprised of. However, there are a number of important differences
between them, which are highlighted in appropriate sections of this document.
The modules that comprise a typical configuration MTS LiTE cabinet includes the following modules:
• Duplexer
• Preselector
• Site Controller
• Base Radio
• Power Supply Unit
The door of the cabinet has a lock to prevent unauthorized opening. Unauthorized
opening of the door generates an alarm.
For a complete description of each module, refer to the appropriate chapter. Each chapter provides the theory
of operation, a description of switches, indicators and connectors, and FRU replacement procedures for each
module. Configuration and testing, and troubleshooting for MTSs are provided in separate chapters.

MTS Modules
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
Each MTS is comprised of a number of modules. Some of these modules in turn are comprised of
subcomponents. This section provides an overview of each of the available modules and their subcomponents.
RF Distribution System
The RF Distribution System (RFDS) module has the following subcomponents:
• Preselector (MTS LiTE, MTS2 and MTS4 prime only)
• Duplexer (MTS LiTE, MTS2 and MTS4 prime only)
• Post Filter (MTS4 prime only)
• Cavity Combiners (CC) (MTS 4 and Expansion Cabinet only)
• Hybrid Combiner (HC) (MTS 2 and MTS 4 Prime Cabinet only)
• Rx Splitter (Expansion Cabinet Only)
The Preselector types and Duplexer types used in MTS LiTE and MTS 2
are different from the types used in MTS 4.
Preselector
The Preselector is a bandpass filter, which allows only the receiver signals to pass. For 400 MHz, the
filter’s bandwidth is 5 MHz, and it is designed to block transmitter frequencies as close as 5 MHz from
its band edges. For 260 MHz, the filter’s bandwidth is 6 MHz and for 800 MHz, the filter’s bandwidth
is 19 MHz. The Preselector incorporates a Receiver Multicoupler (RMC).
Duplexer
The Duplexer consists of two bandpass filters. One allows the transmitter signal to pass while the
other allows the receiver signal to pass. Both filters have a bandwidth of 5 MHz.
For 400 MHz, the duplex spacing between a transmitter frequency and the corresponding receive frequency
is 10 MHz, with the transmitter frequency being higher. This leaves a 5 MHz spacing between the lowest
possible transmit frequency and the highest possible receive frequency. For 260 MHz, the duplex spacing
between a transmitter frequency and the corresponding receive frequency is 9 MHz. For 800 MHz, the duplex
spacing between a transmitter frequency and the corresponding receive frequency is 45 MHz.
The Duplexer incorporates both an RMC and a Digital Power Meter (DPM).
Post Filter
The Post Filter supports non-duplexed configurations and incorporates a DPM.
A Post Filter is only available for the MTS 4 as MTS LiTE and MTS 2 do
not support non-duplexed configurations.
Cavity Combiners
There are two types of Cavity Combiner (CC) available:
• Auto Tune Cavity Combiners (ATCC)
• Manual Tune Cavity Combiners (MTCC)
MTCCs are functionally the same as ATCCs except that they are tuned
manually instead of electronically.
Hybrid Combiner
The Hybrid Combiner (HC) combines up to two transmitters. The 400 MHz Hybrid Combiner covers a
frequency range of 350 MHz to 470 MHz, the 260 MHz Hybrid Combiner covers a frequency range of 260
MHz to 275 MHz, while the 800 MHz Hybrid Combiner covers a frequency range of 850 MHz to 870 MHz.
The combiner has no limitations in respect to channel spacing of the TX channels. However for
frequency planning and interference reasons, at least 50 kHz is recommended.
Rx Splitter
The RX splitter is a passive device, receiving the signal from the Expansion Out connector of the Duplexer/Pre-
selector in the MTS 4 Prime Cabinet and then distributes it to the Base Radios in the MTS 4 Expansion Cabinet.
Site Controller
The Site Controller (SC) controls resources within the base station, including assignment of frequencies
and slots to mobile stations. The Site Controller incorporates a Global Positioning System (GPS),
which receives signals that are used to develop high-precision system timing signals.
The Site Controller communicates with the Base Radio(s) through the 100Base-T Ethernet interface.
It also communicates with the network through an X.21 or E1 link.
XHUB
The eXpansion HUB (XHUB) is a non-intelligent switching and interface module, which plugs into
the Site Controller slot of an MTS 4 Expansion Cabinet. It is connected through the Expansion
Cab output of the Site Controller to the Prime Cab connector of the XHUB.
Transceiver
The transceiver provides the BR's transmission, receiving, signal processing, and modulation functions. To do
this, the transceiver incorporates a Base Radio Controller (BRC), Receiver (RCV), and Exciter (EXC).
The BRC serves as the main controller of the Base Radio. The BRC provides signal processing
and operational control for the other Base Radio modules.
Power Amplifier
The Power Amplifier (PA), in conjunction with the Exciter, provides the transmitter functions
for the Base Radio. The PA accepts the low-level modulated RF signal from the exciter and
amplifies the signal for transmission through the RF output connector.
Backup Battery
The PSU handles the automatic switchover to a backup battery in the event of an AC power supply
failure. The MTS charges the backup battery during normal AC operation. A temperature sensor
monitors the backup battery’s temperature to ensure optimum charging.
The recommended batteries to be used are a Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) recombination
type, with -48 VDC nominal. Such as Enersys Power safe VFT type.
Cooling Fans
One or more fan modules generate an airflow through the MTS cabinets to manage their
temperature. Each module is comprised of two fans. Revolution of the fans is monitored by a
sensor. In the event of a failure, an alarm will be generated.
Low power configurations of MTS LiTE and MTS 2 can be operated without cooling fans.

Guidelines for Communications Sites, R56, document.
General Safety
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
This section contains general information related to safety when working with, or operating MTSs.
The MTS LiTE and the MTS 2 are intended to be installed in restricted access
locations, as defined in EN/IEC 60950-1, and only to be used by service personnel,
or by users with appropriate technical experience and training.
The MTS LiTE, MTS 2 and MTS 4 are connected to earth and powered from a 110 V/230
VAC primary power source, or a -48 VDC secondary power source.
The batteries should be installed in the same building and properly ventilated.
The battery installation need a short circuit protection closest to the batteries.
You must be familiar with Man-Machine Interface (MMI) commands and their
usage prior to performing procedures in this documentation. Improperly
applying MMI commands can result in equipment damage.
Do not key any Base Radio with the Signal Generator directly connected
to a Tx antenna port. Damage to generator will result.
The MTS site must meet certain specifications for adequate protection
from lightning induced transients. Proper ground installation methods are
outlined in the Motorola Standards and Guidelines for Communications
Sites, R56 manual. Refer to Quality Standards in Chapter 1 - Overview
for information on obtaining the R56 manual.
During thunder storms do not service any base station or infrastructure items.
Any device (for example, power supply) providing isolation between the mains
and the MTS must provide reinforced insulation to hazardous voltages. The
DC power source providing power to the MTS shall comply with requirements
specified for a safety extra low voltage circuit (SELV) per EN60950.
This MTS Service Manual is intended for trained technicians experienced with
Motorola Base Radio equipment or similar types of equipment.
Use extreme caution when wearing a conductive wrist strap near sources of high
voltage. The low impedance provided by the wrist strap also increases the danger
of lethal shock should accidental contact with high voltage sources occur.
Make sure that all power to the power supply equipment is off to prevent
accidental contact with high energy and injury to personnel.
If cooling fans are fitted, they will be exposed when modules are removed from
the rack. Touching the fans, if they are running, could result in injury.

Site Planning
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
Proper planning helps to prevent potential on-site and off-site interference from other RF
systems, and helps maximize system performance. Site layouts should always be planned
to minimize the cabling lengths between RF equipment.
For full instructions and guidelines, please refer always to Motorola Standards
and Guidelines for Communications Sites, R56.
Site Survey
The site must be carefully inspected or surveyed using appropriate site survey forms
before orders are placed for the equipment.
A technical representative from both the customer and the site owner should preferably be
in attendance for total concurrence at a single given time.
In order to minimize any misunderstandings, which may arise in the future, the survey report should be approved
by all the attendees at the site survey. The site survey should address all relevant issues involving the MTS
site installation. All involved parties should be in agreement on all of the issues before any work commences.
The site survey issues typically include the following items:
• The potential location of the MTS Cabinet, size of the equipment room, and
the doorway or access into it. Access around the MTS shall include adequate
clearance for cabinet front door opening.
• Verifying the suitability of the existing heating-ventilation-air conditioning (HVAC)
and other environmental criteria in relation to the MTS equipment (see Table 3-6,
"Typical Power Loads and Heat Dissipation Values - Expansion Cabinet 400 MHz
Configuration," on page 3-22, later in this chapter).
• The power requirements for the site.
• A check of the history of local voltage and frequency variations together with the
possibility of interruptions of the supply to the site.
• The stand-by power requirements for the site.
• The location of the mains power distribution.
• The location of the network terminating unit (NTU) for the Ethernet, X.21 or E1 leased line.
• The location of telephone connections.
• The location of the building earth and the tower earth.
• Inspection/Test of the building and tower earth.
• The suitability, space availability, and location of the cable entry point into the equipment room.
• The suitability and location of the existing lightning arrestors.
• The suitability, space availability, and location of the existing cable tray or ladder rack between
the equipment room and the antenna tower or the antenna system support structure.
• Checking the cable access route into the equipment room.
• Identifying the type of tower and the type of structure on which the GPS antenna will be mounted.
Site Considerations
The MTS site building should be designed to meet the requirements of any and all local building
codes, and relevant regulations, applicable to the site location.
Motorola recommends the following considerations when selecting a site:
• For front access, stations allow only a minimum of 80 cm for access.
• The ceiling structure should be able to support a cable tray assembly for routing
the inter-cabinet cabling and other site cabling. The cable tray assembly is
mounted to the site ceiling and walls per site plan.
• Check the room door dimensions to ensure that the MTS cabinet can pass through:
◦ MTS LiTE or MTS 2 cabinet transported on wooden pallet needs 86
cm width/without wooden pallet 59 cm
◦ MTS 4 and Expansion cabinet transported on wooden pallet needs 86
cm width/without wooden pallet 68 cm
• The operating temperature of the MTS is:
◦ MTS LiTE 400 MHz without fans: -30 °C to +55 °C
◦ MTS LiTE 400 MHz with fans: -30 °C to +60 °C
◦ MTS LiTE 800 MHz (always fans): -30 °C to +60 °C
◦ MTS 2 260 MHz and 400 MHz without fans: -30 °C to +55 °C
◦ MTS 2 400 MHz with fans: -30 °C to +60 °C
◦ MTS 2 800 MHz (always fans): -30 °C to +60 °C
◦ MTS 4 260 MHz and 400 MHz (always fans): -30 °C to +60 °C
◦ MTS 4 800 MHz (always fans): -30 °C to +55 °C
Therefore the site interior temperature must be maintained within these limits. Maintaining a
stable, moderate site temperature is the best approach for long term reliability of the equipment.
• It is suggested that a mains socket outlet is available adjacent to the MTS for the powering of
test equipment. This mains outlet must be on the same electrical phase as the MTS supply.
• If sited close to a railway track, the MTS must be installed at least 3m from the center of the track.
Proper surge protection should be installed on E1/X.21 site links, all antennas, and power
inputs to prevent potential damage to the MTS. Please refer to "Surge Arrestors and Suppliers"
section in Appendix A, "Field Replaceable Units (FRUs)" for more information.
For full instructions and guidelines, please refer always to Motorola Standards
and Guidelines for Communications Sites, R56.

Proper surge protection should be installed on all antennas to prevent potential damage
to the MTS LiTE, MTS 2 and MTS 4.
Please refer to "Surge Arrestors and Suppliers" section in Appendix A, "Field Replace-
able Units (FRUs)" for more information.
Lightning arrestors should be installed to transport lightning strikes away from the equipment.
Install a lightning rod on a tower leg other than the leg to which you mount the antenna.
Per any local regulations, a surge arrestor may be required at the Ethernet, X.21 or E1 service
entrance. The arrestor should be designed for operation with a Ethernet, X.21 or E1 circuit. The
arrestor typically is only installed on the customer side of the Ethernet, X.21 or E1 service entrance.
It should be wired per manufacturer instructions. Please refer to "Surge Arrestors and Suppliers"
section in Appendix A, "Field Replaceable Units (FRUs)" for more information.

Environmental Considerations
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
Temperature
The environment in which the MTS operates is an important consideration. The temperature should be
regulated to ensure trouble-free operation. Excessive temperatures result in generated heat that may
reduce the life-span of the electronic equipment, and could cause permanent damage.
It is recommended that the ambient temperature (at the air inlet) does not exceed 35 ºC in normal operating
conditions. For exceptional conditions, the ambient temperature must not be allowed to exceed:
• 55 ºC: MTS LiTE 400 MHz (without fans)
• 55 ºC: MTS 2 260 MHz and 400 MHz (without fans)
• 55 ºC: MTS 4 800 MHz
• 60 ºC: MTS LiTE 400 MHz (with fans)
• 60 ºC: MTS 2 400 MHz (with fans)
• 60 ºC: MTS 4 260 MHz and 400 MHz
• 60 ºC: MTS LiTE 800 MHz (always with fans)
• 60 ºC: MTS 2 800 MHz (always with fans)
The low power MTS LiTE and MTS 2 cabinet use passive convection cooling. Fan modules may be
added where high ambient temperatures are experienced or operation at high altitude is necessary.
Keep attention that no other objects are covering the topside grilles and
leaves at least 20 cm of clearance above the cabinet(s).
Humidity
For humidity, MTS complies with ETSI norm EN300 019 1–3 Class 3.2.
At 30 ºC, the relative humidity within the site should be between 5% and 95% non-condensing.
Corrosive Environment
The equipment should not be directly exposed to corrosive environments. If the equipment
site is located in a coastal environment, proper air filtration for the site should be in place
to protect the equipment from salt mist contamination.
Air Quality
For cabinet-mounted equipment operating in an area, which is not environmentally controlled, the airborne
particulates level must not exceed concentration defined in ETSI norm EN300 019 1–3 Class 3.
Salt mist like sea salt and road salt excluded and shall always be avoided.
Electrical Requirements
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
All electrical wiring for the MTS site must meet the requirements of any
and all applicable local codes and regulations.
Any device (that is power supply) providing isolation between the AC mains
and the MTS must provide reinforced insulation to hazardous voltages. The
DC power source providing power to the MTS shall comply with requirements
specified for a safety extra low voltage circuit (SELV) per EN60950.
The battery installation need a short circuit protection closest to the batteries.
The batteries should be installed in the same building and properly ventilated.
If other codes and practices are beneficial please refer to your local standards.
The battery installation need a short circuit protection closest to the batteries.
The batteries should be installed in the same building and properly ventilated.

The MTS has a certain power consumption even when the Power Supply Unit (PSU)
is switched off (2 mA). The switch only disconnects DC outputs and charging
currents. In case of field repair, all PSU connecting cables have to be disconnected.
Backup Battery
The backup battery is normally located near the cabinet(s). The recommended batteries to be used are
a VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) recombination type, with -48 VDC nominal.
Surge Arrestors
Please refer to "Surge Arrestors and Suppliers" in Appendix A, "Field Replaceable
Units (FRUs)" for more information.
Lightning arrestors should be installed to transport lightning strikes away from the equipment.
Install a lightning rod on a tower leg other than the leg to which you mount the antenna.
Power Panel
Motorola recommends that all sites where an MTS will be installed use a standardized power panel
including circuit breaker layout. Vacant space should be left to allow for future requirements.
The MTS in all configurations has the following alarm inputs and control outputs:
• 15 x 12 V opto-isolated alarm inputs - available on the junction panel
◦ Alarm inputs and Alarm ground are floating
• 2 x Form A relay outputs with Common and Normally Open contacts -
available on the junction panel
• DOOR alarm - connected to the Site Controller
All 15 alarm inputs and Door alarm are using the same Alarm Ground. All these alarms
and controls are connected directly to the Site Controller (SC).
The Expansion Cabinet only offers the Door alarm feature.
For detailed information refer to "External Alarm Cabling" in Chapter 4, "Hardware
Installation" and "User Alarms/Controls, X.21, RGPS, and GPS Cabling" in
Chapter 5, "Interconnection and Internal Cabling".
.
See Figure 3-9 for more detailed description of User Alarms input structure.
Grounding Requirements
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
The methods and standards cited in the following paragraphs are typical. Local codes, statutes,
regulations, and/or standards shall supersede any information provided herein, as applicable.
The MTS site must meet certain specifications for adequate protection from
lightning induced transients. Proper ground installation methods are outlined
in the Motorola Standards and Guidelines for Communications Sites, R56. The
references cited earlier in this chapter shall also be followed.
Cabinet grounding wires may have been installed prior to cabinet installation. If
so, follow the instructions below.
Single-point ground method (where each cabinet is grounded to master ground using its own
ground wire) shall be used. Equipment cabinet shall use green (or green-yellow) insulated wire
with a minimum size of 16 mm2 CSA (#5 AWG) for ground wire.
Any external -48 VDC power system should be grounded in accordance with manufacturer’s
instructions and any applicable local regulations.
The MTS cabinet is wired to positive earth but the Power Supply Unit inside
has a floating DC ground concept.
Different wire colors may be used according the local standards.
If the specified wire size is not available, use the next-larger available wire size.
During the installation of cabinet ground wires, be sure to check any factory-
installed internal ground connections for tightness.

Installation Overview
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
For full instructions and guidelines, please always refer to Motorola Standards and
Guidelines for Communications Sites, R56 manual.
Prior to performing the installation procedures, the site has to be prepared with all associated
antennas, communications lines, and other related site equipment.
In an MTS site, the term “cabinet” is a generic term used to refer to Fixed Network
Equipment (FNE) mounted in different types of frames. It does not refer in any
way to building electrical cabinets, outdoor utility cabinets, or some types of
equipment shelters commonly known as cabinets.
Personnel Considerations
The following personnel are typically required to install an MTS site:
• An installation supervisor.
• A minimum of two installers per MTS site. (Two installers could include the supervisor,
provided there are a minimum of two persons on each MTS site at all times.)
• A commissioning engineer (attends only during the commissioning stage).
Receipt of Equipment
Inspection of the MTS equipment must be performed as soon as all equipment is unpacked. Check
the MTS equipment against the itemized packing list to ensure that all equipment was received. If
available, check the sales order with the packing list to account for all equipment ordered. Contact
your Motorola representative to report the missing items and for additional information.
If obvious damage has occurred to the shipping containers before unpacking, contact the
shipping agent and ask that a representative of their company be present while the equipment
is unpacked. Then your Motorola representative should be informed.
Observe guidelines for safe handling of electrostatic sensitive devices or equipment
to prevent electrostatic damage.
An anti-static wrist strap should always be worn when handling any electrical component.
Pre-Installation Checklist
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
Proper installation ensures the best possible performance and reliability of the MTS station.
Preinstallation planning is required. This includes considering the mounting location of the cabinet
in relation to input power, antennas, and site link interfaces. Also, consider the site environment
conditions, the particular mounting method, and required tools and equipment.
The installation shall only be carried out after the following activities are completed:
• Antenna installation (including GPS antenna)
• New building earth (if required)
• The installation of the Ethernet, X.21 or E1 link (to the control centre)
by the site link service provider
• The installation of the cable tray in the equipment room
• The increase in the capacity of the mains power supply (if required)
• The increase in the capacity of the stand-by mains power supply (if required)
• The completion of any civil works on the site (for example, new or modified
accommodation, new access road, and so on)
• The position in which each piece of equipment will be placed on the floor
has been marked and agreed
• Reinforcement of site floor to accommodate load of site equipment (if required)
• All the equipment has been delivered to site and placed in their final positions
by the transportation company
Proper surge protection should be installed on Ethernet/E1/X.21 site links, all antennas,
and power inputs to prevent potential damage to the MTS.
For full instructions and guidelines, please always refer to Motorola Standards and
Guidelines for Communications Sites, R56 manual .
Cabinet Transportation
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
It is recommended that to move and locate all the equipments to the final position, a transportation
company specializing in the moving of heavy electronic equipment should be used.
Safety Considerations
Equipment racks should only be lifted without the use of lifting equipment when there are sufficient personnel
available to ensure that regulations covering Health and Safety are not breached. Motorola recommends the
use of appropriate powered mechanical lifting apparatus for moving and lifting the equipment racks. In
addition to these points, refer to and comply with any local regulations that govern the use of lifting equipment.
A sack trolley will generally be used from the front of the MTS LiTE or the MTS 2 as
this allows it to be moved into position. Protective padding or cardboard should
be placed between the MTS and the sack trolley to prevent equipment damage.
Before attempting to use, visually check the lifting brackets and associated rack hardware for
damage that may have occurred during transit. If any damage is apparent, contact Motorola for
replacement. Correct lifting bracket tightness and alignment are crucial to ensure that the lifting
bracket assembly will perform to its intended lifting capacity.
Both lifting brackets must be used when lifting the equipment rack. When lifting from a center
point, the distance measured between the lifting point and the top surface of the cabinet must be
minimum 350 mm to ensure that the proper lifting angle is maintained (see Figure 4-1). Using a
length shorter than that specified could cause the lifting brackets to fail.
If lifting brackets are removed or become loose, they must be properly installed before
they are used to lift the equipment rack.
When placing the MTS 4 cabinet back on the floor, it can be easily decided whether to put it
in the vertical (A) or horizontal (B) position, see Figure 4-2.

Grounding Connection
Various cabling from the equipment cabinet to external equipment is made through the MTS Junction Panel
located at the top-rear of the equipment cabinet. The Junction Panel is accessed from the top of the cabinet.
Depending on system configuration, not all connector locations on Junction Panel are populated.
Cabinet grounding wires may have been installed prior to the cabinet installation. If
so, follow the instructions below.
If grounding wires have not yet been installed, refer to "Grounding Requirements"
in Chapter 3, "Site Preparation".
Single-point ground method (where each cabinet is grounded to master ground using its own
ground wire) shall be used. The cabinet shall use green (or green-yellow) insulated wire with
a minimum size of 16 mm2 CSA (#5 AWG) for ground wire.
The MTS is connected to the site ground through the M10 station ground point located on the junction
panel, see Figure 4-12 for MTS LiTE, Figure 4-13 for MTS 2 and Figure 4-14 for MTS 4. This connection
is essential for the protection of the equipment against lightning induced surges.
If the specified wire size is not available, use the next-larger available wire size. During the installation of
cabinet ground wires, ensure to check any factory-installed internal ground connections for tightness.
Figure 4-13 and Figure 4-14 depicts the newer version of the MTS Junction Panel.
There may be small differences in older configurations.

recommended that an in-line fuse (20 A slow-blow type) should be installed in the negative
line near to the battery.
Ensure that all the battery temperature sensor cables are fitted into the battery
associated with the appropriate PSUs.
The MTS station is to be connected only to those backup batteries, which are in
accordance with the applicable electrical codes for the end use country.
Backup battery systems are not manufactured by Motorola. Consult the manufacturer’s
instruction manual and other pertinent documentation for installing a battery systems. Any
local regulations shall be adhered to when installing the battery equipment.
When installed, the kit enables a low voltage disconnection option of batteries connected to a MTS backup
system, as a discharge of a battery pack below 40,5V can cause permanent damage.
The LVD also offers a push bottom which gives an override function, which will:
• activate cabin light, and
• power up the Base station power supply, which also will enable normal activation of the LVD.
Procedure 4-9 describes how to install the MTS LVD kit. For installing the MTS
LVD kit, the following tools are needed:
• PZ2 and PH2 screwdriver
• Hammer
• Cutting tool for cable ties, etc.
• 2 Nm torque tool and crimp tool for ring terminal (optional)

RF Antenna Connections
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
In the MTS 2, the RF antenna connectors are placed on the junction panel, see Figure 4-42,
Figure 4-43 and Figure 4-44. In the MTS 4, the RF antenna connectors are located in the top
of the cabinet and integrated with the filter tray, see Figure 4-45.
The antenna leads should be dropped above the MTS cabinet as per the site plan. It is assumed that the Base
Radio antennas have been installed before and that the RFDS section is properly configured. (If required, refer
to Chapter 5, "Interconnection and Internal Cabling", section "RF Cabling" for RF cabling diagrams.)
Identify and tag all antenna cables designated for connection to the MTS. Be sure to
document this information for future use.
In the preceding table, Low Power is valid for 400 MHz and 260 MHz, while High Power is valid
for 400 MHz and 800 MHz.
The numbers illustrated are applicable for TETRA with TEDS numbers within parentheses.
With an Expansion Cabinet, a site may be increased by up to four Base Radios per Expansion
Cabinet. The MTS 4 Expansion Cabinet can be placed on either the left side of the MTS 4 Prime
Cabinet or on the right side. Different scenarios of connecting the MTS 4 Expansion Cabinet
with the MTS 4 Prime Cabinet are described in the following sections.
TX Connections
Depending on the Prime Cabinet configuration, TX connections between the MTS 4 Prime Cabinet
and the MTS 4 Expansion Cabinet can be configured in two ways:
• Combining eight channels onto one Duplexer/Post Filter in the MTS 4 Prime
Cabinet using a phasing harness.
• Combining four channels from the MTS 4 Prime Cabinet onto one Duplexer/Post
Filter in the Prime Cabinet and combining four channels from the MTS 4 Expansion
Cabinet onto another Duplexer/Post Filter in the Prime Cabinet.
In Figure 4-46, all the eight channels (four channels from MTS 4 Prime Cabinet and four
channels from MTS 4 Expansion Cabinet) are combined using a phasing harness and connected
to one Duplexer/Post Filter in the MTS 4 Prime Cabinet.
Tx cable from Prime Cabinet to Expansion Cabinet is routed through the con-
junction hole on the side of the cabinets.
Figure 4-46 Connection Between MTS 4 Prime Cabinet and MTS 4 Expansion Cabinet – Phasing

GPS Connections
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
The MTS Site Controller has an integrated GPS module and an option for a remote GPS module. The
selection is done by configuring MTS using the BTS Service Software (TESS).
The main purpose of the GPS module is to allow accurate absolute timing of less than ½ of a symbol
between adjacent base stations and to supply UTC (Universal Time Coordinate). Dimetra does not need the
functionality of measuring the cable delay at start-up. The Site Controller calculates the delay, no manual
calculation, or configuration is required, and supports connection to a remote GPS antenna that is 600 m away
or less. The cable delay if any will be configured by BTS Service Software (TESS). Default will be 0 ns.
The antenna/receiver must have a sufficiently clear view of the sky (10º above the horizon in all directions
without any obstructions) to be able to locate and track at least four satellites during initial power-up. The four
satellites (approx. 20183 km above earth) are used to establish a three dimensional fix (latitude, longitude, and
altitude) for the site. This process can take up to 30 minutes, but typically is completed in less than 5 minutes.
Once the position of the site has been established, the corresponding data is stored
in memory and normal operation resumes.
Tracking Criteria
To allow a system to successfully initialize for the first time at a new location, the Position
Dilution Of Position (PDOP) must be less than 2.0. A low PDOP value indicates a low error
(higher accuracy) in the position calculated by the GPS receiver.
PDOP is an accuracy factor, which is a function of the relative positions of the satellites. If the satellites being
tracked by the GPS receiver are within close relative proximity to each other, the resulting PDOP will be poor.
Conversely, if the satellites are relatively far from each other, PDOP will be improved. Because any error in
position results in a timing error in the BR transmission, the BRs are not allowed to key until the position error
is acceptably low. Therefore, a site with a large PDOP value may incur a delay when the site is first initialized.
It is essential that after FRU replacement or moving the Site Controller in some
other manner, the position memory is reset using MMI commands.
Excessive PDOP values may be the result of the GPS receiver not having an adequate “view” of
the sky to initially determine its position. Motorola recommends locating the antenna(s) such that
there are no PDOP values that exceed 10.0 for periods of more than 15 minutes. To maintain a
maximum reliability, four satellites should be tracked at all times.
The system must be capable of the following:
• Tracking a minimum of four satellites during initial start-up
• Sustaining PDOP less than 10
• Working in 3D fix mode for the most of the time
GPS Start Up
The times given below are from applying power to the system until GPS LED is solid green illuminating.
GPS startup is the significant contributing factor in determining system start up times.
Initial Start
This is the first time an MTS is powered on or after the almanac or position information
has been erased from non volatile memory (NVM). The site needs to locate 4 satellites and
then train the reference oscillator from an unknown state.
Warm Start
The MTS has been previously powered up and the non volatile memory contains valid almanac and
position information and the reference oscillator was trained prior to starting the site. The times
quoted are for a power-off restart. A software restart will be slightly faster.
Soft Restart
This is an MTS restart, where power is maintained during the reset, for example, the remote MTS
restart after software upgrade. The GPS receiver will continue to track satellites during the MTS
restart, thus eliminating the ‘search for satellites’ phase of start-up.
If these start-up times are exceeded, then follow the procedures for GPS Site
Controller fault indications section.
Figure 4-53 and Figure 4-54 depicts the newer version of the MTS Junction Panel.
There may be small differences in older configurations.
Figure 4-52 Remote GPS Receiver Connection on MTS LiTE Junction Panel
The RGPS receiver cable has to be a shielded cable. The screen has to be grounded through the
metal shell of the D type connector. However, it is required for the cable screen to be connected
also to the site ground where the cable enters the building. This is similar to the grounding that
is applied to the RF cables. Please refer to R56 Guidelines and National Standards.
A modular data surge protector (Part Number: GMDN0889A) should be used for remote
GPS cable, see Figure 4-56. The surge arrestor must be installed on a grounding plate,
or a ground connection stud added to the side of the box.
See also Table 5-6, "User Alarms/Controls, X.21, RGPS, and GPS Cabling for MTS 2," on page 5-10 and
Table 5-7, "User Alarms/Controls, X.21, RGPS, and GPS Cabling for MTS 4," on page 5-12.
The duplicated Supply and GND connections should be joined together at the surge protector.
Figure 4-59 and Figure 4-60 depicts the newer version of the MTS Junction Panel.
There may be small differences in older configurations.
GPS Antenna must be protected by a grounded surge arrestor of the type that allows
DC to pass through. Please refer to "Surge Arrestors and Suppliers" in Appendix A,
"Field Replaceable Units (FRUs)" for more information.
A cable connects the network termination unit (NTU) and the E1/X.21 interface on the MTS Junction
Panel, see Figure 4-61 for MTS LiTE, Figure 4-62 for MTS 2 and Figure 4-63 for MTS 4.
The E1 or X.21 (only one of them can be used) connectors on the Junction Panel are connected with the Site
Controller through an internal extension cable. For more information, see "E1 and Ethernet Cabling" and
"User Alarms/Controls, X.21, RGPS, and GPS Cabling" in Chapter 5, "Interconnection and Internal Cabling".

Table 4-5 and Table 4-6 show the pin assignment for E1 and X.21 connection.
The E1 connector described in Table 4-5 contains two E1 lines. If only one line is needed,
use Receive 1 and Transmit 1. Be aware that the Pin definitions on the Site Controller are
different from the E1 connector on the Junction Panel.
Newer versions of the MTS 2 and MTS 4 Junction Panels contain breakouts for Ethernet Site Link
connectors (Link1 and Link2). In order to gain Ethernet site link functionality on these newer versions
of Junction Panel, the breakout(s) needs to be removed and a RJ45 coupler needs to be inserted. For
more information on placement on the Junction Panel, See Figure 4-62," E1/X.21 and Ethernet Site Link
Connectors on the MTS 2 Junction Panel" on page 4-58 for MTS 2 and Figure 4-63," E1/X.21 and
Ethernet Site Link Connectors on the MTS 4 Junction Panel" on page 4-58 for MTS 4.
Previous version of the MTS 2 Junction Panel contain no breakout while the previous version of the
MTS 4 Junction Panel contain an AUX breakout. In order to gain Ethernet site link functionality
on those previous versions of MTS 2 and MTS 4 Junction Panels, a MTS Ethernet Retrofit Kit
is needed, see "Ethernet Site Link Retrofit Kit" on page 4-61.
The Link1 and Link2 connectors on the Junction Panel (or via the MTS Ethernet Retrofit kit) are
connected with the Site Controller through an internal extension cable.
For more information, see "Ethernet Site Link Cabling" in Chapter 5, "Interconnection and Internal Cabling".
Table 4-7 show the pin assignment for Ethernet Site Link connection.

If an older version of the MTS Junction panel is used, containing only a E1 output (and AUX
output on MTS4 Junction Panel) and no Ethernet Site Link outputs (Link1 and Link2), use a
MTS Ethernet Site Link Retrofit kit in order to get Ethernet Site-link functionality. For more
information, see "Ethernet Site Link Retrofit Kit" on page 4-61.
With such in place, see tables and figures below for configuration.

The CAN Bus is integrated in the Site Controller. There is one CAN Bus in the cabinets. The CAN
Bus can be connected to the Site Controllers, PSUs, DPMs, and ATCCs.
The pinout has been designed so that an accidental mis-connection by one or into one of the
other RJ45 connectors (Ethernet, Service port, or E1) does not damage any circuitry.
The CAN Bus is a 120Ω twisted line with termination at the ends.

Configuration and Testing
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
The setup and testing procedures covered in this manual are intended to be used in conjunction with
the information provided in Chapter 13, "MTS Troubleshooting" and “MMI Commands Manual”.
Together, the troubleshooting solutions and testing procedures, provide the necessary information to
isolate failures to a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) or replaceable part. This helps to keep the system
down time to a minimum by quickly returning the site to normal operation.
All suspected faulty FRUs should be shipped to a Motorola depot facility for servicing or repair.
For a list of available FRUs, see Appendix A, "Field Replaceable Units (FRUs)".
The setup and test procedures in this manual are used to test the functionality of the
MTS and help isolate failures to the module level.
The setup and testing procedures are divided into the following sections:
• "Preparation"
• "Site Controller Configuration and Verification"
• "CAN Bus Configuration"
• "Base Radio Configuration and Verification"
Preparation
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
Please carefully go through preparation section before proceeding with configuration and testing.
Process 6-1 Preparation Procedures
1 "MMI Commands and MTS Modes of Operation" - briefly describes the usage of Man Machine
Interface Commands.
2 "Test Equipment" - Identifies all recommended test equipment for the Site Controller and Base
Radio Verification.
3 "Service Terminal Setup" - Describes how to connect a service terminal.
You must be familiar with Man-Machine Interface (MMI) commands and their
usage prior to performing procedures in this chapter. Improperly applying
MMI commands can cause damage to the equipment.
The “MTS MMI Commands” manual serves as an introduction and reference for using
the software commands. If you are not totally familiar with using the commands,
read the “MTS MMI Commands” manual before proceeding.
Service technicians can communicate with the MTS through the use of MMI commands and a service
terminal (laptop). MMI commands provide testing capabilities with access to alarm log files and
various diagnostic tests. MMI commands also provide a means to configure the site controller and
base radio(s) for intended operation, and to enable various system tests.
The testing of the MTS by using the MMI can be done in Test Application Mode or with sets
of commands available for Site Controller and Base Radio.
A selected number of MMI commands are used in the procedures within this chapter. The
complete set of MMI commands, including both Site Controller and base radio commands,
is defined in the “MTS MMI Commands” manual.
Each of these modes contains a different set of Man Machine Interface Commands, which
are described in the “MTS MMI Commands” manual.
Test Equipment
Table 6-1 lists the recommended test equipment for the Equipment Cabinet proce-
dures. Equivalent equipment is acceptable.
Ensure that the test equipment is connected to the same ground system as the
equipment under test before any other connections are made to the test equipment.
The Basic Service cable can be used with a DB9M to DB9M gender changer for the loading of infrastructure
keys (Ki) from a Key Variable Loader (KVL) into Site Controllers and Base Radios of encrypted MTSs.
A specially crafted Service Connector Box is used for measuring receiver sensitivity; see Figure 6-2 and
Figure 6-3. This box has two additional trigger connectors that allow the MTS to connect to a TETRA Test
set and requires a standard RS-232 DB9M to DB9F cable to connect it to the Service Terminal.
Only the D-SUB 9 Female PINs that are connected are presented in the table
below. The rest are not connected (NC).
Table 6-2 Basic Service Cable Pinout
The Service Connector Box (0166502N05) is used for connecting a PC to the Base Radio. It has
additional functionality for measuring receiver sensitivity, see Figure 6-3.

CAN Bus interconnects units in the BTS. It is used for signalling, configuration and troubleshooting.
CAN Bus configuration and diagnosis in done through use of MMI Commands from the Site Controller.
To use the commands connect the Service Terminal ("Service Terminal Setup") to the Site Controller
using the Service Cable ("Service Cable and Connector Box Description").
All the CAN Bus related Commands are covered in detail in the “MMI Commands” manual.
Using CAN Bus MMI Commands it is possible to diagnose the state of all the devices connected to the CAN Bus:
• "PSU CAN Bus Commands"
• "Fans CAN Bus Commands"
• "DPM CAN Bus Commands"
• "ATCC CAN Bus Commands"
• "Other CAN Bus Commands"
# in PSU CAN bus commands above denotes the number of the PSU, i.e. PSU 1 or PSU 2.
During initial commissioning, verify that fan configuration match the actual number of fans in the
system. If needed, use the psu # set fan_config command to change the fan configuration.
Examples:
psu 1 set fan_config 1 1 1 to define three fans present on PSU1.
psu 1 set fan_config 1 1 0 to define fans present on PSU1 Fan 1
and 2, and no fan present on PSU 1 Fan 3
psu 2 set fan_config 0 0 0 to define no fans present on PSU2.
• If there are no devices present, this means the cabling is possibly corrupted.
• All not mapped devices should be mapped.
The Site controller (SC) setup and checkout procedures specify steps that verify operation within
the Site Controller. The Site Controller verification consists of:
Process 6-2 The Site controller (SC) setup and checkout procedures.
1 "Site Controller Setup" - Describes how to verify the Site Controller Configuration
2 "E1 Connection Test" "X.21 Connection Test" - Describes how to perform E1 (X.21) Loopback
to test E1 (X.21) interface and cabling
3 "Site Reference Check" - Describes how to check for proper SRI functioning.
If all details for the status is needed, use the Status bts –l command.
This procedure may be halted and restarted at any time by pressing the RESET push
button for at least 2 seconds on the Site Controller front panel.
E1 Connection Test
The E1 connection test requires that the Site Controller is connected to an active E1 line.
The E1 tests the connection between the Site Controller and the CNE core router. All applications that
communicate with the CNE utilize the Internet Protocol (IP). The current state and statistics for IP may be
obtained using the netstat and netstat -s commands. The correct functioning of the IP layer may be determined
through careful use of the ping command. For more information refer to “MTS MMI Commands” manual.
Enter the following loopback test command in Site Controller Test Application: e1el. MMI
modes are described in "MMI Commands and MTS Modes of Operation".
The X.21 connection test requires the Site Controller to be connected to a Network
Terminating Unit (NTU) which supports the X.21 loop 3 command.
Enter the following loopback test command in Site Controller Test Application: e1el. MMI
modes are described in "MMI Commands and MTS Modes of Operation".
The GPS LED will flash satellite tracking commences and will be fully on once GPS is fully trained.
If satellite tracking is NOT ADEQUATE, make sure:
• The GPS receiver has been allowed enough time to locate the satellites (in
extreme cases this may take up to 2 hours).
• The GPS antenna cable is properly connected. If it is not, reconnect the cable
properly and then reset the Site Controller. If cable is found to be properly
connected, the GPS antenna is possibly faulty.
Refer to Chapter 13, "MTS Troubleshooting" for more information on troubleshooting GPS.
For the Base Radio, there are a number of procedures that you must follow to ensure that it is up and running.
All module specific information is programmed in the factory prior to shipment. Base
Radio specific parameters (for example, receive and transmit frequencies) are downloaded
to the Base Radio from the network/Site Controller.

Pm_configuration defines the relationship between RFDS components and Base Radios. If one
cavity in an ATCC measures a high Voltage Standing Wave Radio (VSWR), it results in the decay
of the corresponding Base Radio. A broken antenna or failure on a feeder cable indicates a
bad VSWR on the DPM. It also results in the decay of Base Radios using this DPM.

• pm_config br 2 atcc 1 cav 2
• pm_config br 3 dpm 1
• pm_config br 3 atcc 2 cav 1
• pm_config br 4 dpm 1
• pm_config br 4 atcc 2 cav 2
Procedure 6-5 How to Verify the Base Radio Software Version Number (Continued)
5 Collect revision numbers from the BR by typing: fv -oplatform. Note down the test application
software version and then please refer to the System Software Release Note for correct software
version number.
If software version number does not match, perform "Base Radio Test Application
Software Upgrade (optional)" on page 6-25 after completion of this procedure.
6 To exit BR Test Application mode, reset the BR, by using the following command from the
MMI: reset -oplatform
It is important to make sure that this procedure never is used to downgrade the Test Application.
Procedure 6-6 How to Upgrade to Latest Test Application Software
1 Point 3COM server to the folder containing the BRC Test App software.
2 Connect a RJ45 cable to the serial port of the PC and the Service port on the Base Radio.
3 Connect a crossed Ethernet cable to the PC and the SC1 port on BR
4 Reset BR and enter boot1 mode.
Transmitter Verification
The transmitter verification procedure verifies the transmitter operation and the integrity of the transmit
path. This verification procedure is recommended after replacing the Base Radio module.
The following procedure requires the MTS 2 or MTS 4 to be out of service. Unless it is
already out of service, Motorola recommends performing this procedure during off-peak
hours. This minimizes or eliminates disruption of service to system users.
In order to avoid the risk of causing a high bit error rate to occur, do not use 385.572MHz
and 419.175MHz as receiving frequencies in the Base Radios of the MTS.
This procedure provides commands and responses to verify proper operation of the
transmit path for the Power Amplifier.
Procedure 6-7 How to Verify the Transmitter
1 Connect the Service Cable between the service terminal and the Service port. Log in to the
Base Radio.
The following commands, keys the transmitter. Make sure that transmission only
occurs on licensed frequencies or into an RF dummy load. To ask for the current
transmitter frequency, type: freq -otxch1. To change the transmit frequency, type:
vco -otx_all -fXXX.XXXX. For example, to set the transmit frequency to 410.0125
MHz, type: vco -otx_all -f410.0125.
To key the transmitter with a T2 type channel type these three commands:
• enable -otx_all –son
• ptm -orx_all -mTx_T2 -s15 -tNo_Trigger -d0
• power -otxch1 -aXX
These commands set the transmitter to a specified power (in Watts) without altering any
programmed parameters. For example, to key the Power Amplifier to 36W, type power -otxch1
-a36.
To transmit a TCH 7.2 channel type, type: ptm -orx_all -mTCH_72 -s15
-tNo_Trigger -d0.
Receiver Verification
The receiver verification procedure sends a known test signal to the Base Radio to verify the receive
path. This verification procedure is recommended after replacing a Base Radio.
The following procedure requires the Base Radio to be out of service. Unless the Base Radio
is currently out of service, Motorola recommends performing this procedure during off-peak
hours. This minimizes or eliminates disruption of service to system users.
In order to avoid the risk of causing a high bit error rate to occur, do not use 385.572MHz
and 419.175MHz as receiving frequencies in the Base Radios of the MTS.
Procedure 6-8 How to set up the Equipment for Receiver Verification
To set the receive frequency, use the command freq -orx_all -fXXX.XXXX.
For example, to set the receive frequency to 401.0125MHz, type freq -orx_all
-f401.0125.
4 Use following commands to change TX and RX frequency if necessary. If you read the frequency
you want to use in the previous step, skip this step:
• freq -otx_all -f394.0125
• freq -orx_all -f384.0125
5 Type sge -orx_all -son and press Enter to enable system gain alignment.
6 At the prompt, type: ptm -orx_all -mTCH_72 -s15 -tMulti_Frame_Trigger

Radio Frequency Distribution System
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
The Radio Frequency Distribution System (RFDS) distributes and manages the communications
network frequencies and mitigates interference between multiple radios, allowing them to
operate simultaneously. This results in improved radio reception performance across the
frequency ranges where multiple transmitters are broadcasting.
The RFDS module supports the combining and filtering of multiple Base Radio transmitters to one or more
antenna outputs. The RFDS module supports up to triple receive diversity. Signals are filtered by either the
Duplexer or the Preselector, then amplified and distributed by the integrated Receiver Multicoupler (RMC). In
configurations with an Expansion Cabinet, the RX-splitter is used to distribute the received signal.
The RFDS also conditions the transmit and receive signal using filters. After combining the Base Radio
transmitters in the Hybrid Combiner (or in the Cavity Combiner in the case of the MTS 4), the transmit signals
are filtered in the transmit path of the Duplexer, which supplies the antenna connector on the cabinet.
MTS LiTE, MTS 2 and MTS 4, with or without Expansion Cabinet configuration, use different
types of RFDS modules. The following are the distinct differences:
• MTS 2 supports Hybrid Combiners
• MTS 4 supports Cavity Combiners or Hybrid Combiners
• MTS LiTE/MTS 2 and MTS 4 do not use the same filters and mechanics for the filter tray
• MTS LiTE support one RF channel
• MTS 2 supports up to two RF channels
• MTS 4 supports up to four RF channels
• Expansion Cabinet supports eight RF channels (four in MTS 4 Prime Cabinet
and four in MTS 4 Expansion Cabinet)
MTS 2 only has up to two carriers (the frequency that it sends out) and, as a result there are no Post Filters
for a non-duplexed operation. A non-duplexed operation is achieved using a Duplexer as the Post Filter and
not using the receive path of the Duplexer. This configuration does not allow room for a third Preselector
inside the cabinet; however, it is possible to situate one outside the cabinet, for example, on the wall.
CAN Bus
The intercommunication between the RFDS units (the Duplexers, Post Filters, and Cavity Combiners) and the
Site Controller is carried out through the CAN Bus at 125 kB/second. The connectors for the CAN Bus are RJ45
connectors. The CAN Bus is terminated at each end, either by the Site Controller or by an RJ45 terminator.
Each unit is registered at the Site Controller (SC), which specifies the particular channel for each
unit. Every 30 seconds, each unit on the CAN Bus transmits status and alarm information. Alarms are
triggered when any thresholds are exceeded, (failure alarms, software revisions, and so on). The following
common information is available from the CAN Bus: serial number, TrackID, software revisions, and
the Motorola kit number. For each unit, specific information is available, for example, voltage standing
wave ratio (VSWR) for DPMs and tuning information for Cavity Combiners.
The receive path of the Preselector or Duplexer is not connected to the CAN Bus. Because the supply
voltage is supplied from the Base Radio, the Base Radio can withstand a short or 50 ohms connection
to the RX input without the Base Radio or the Power Supply Unit (PSU) being damaged.
For more information on CAN Bus, see "Site Controller - CAN Bus".
In terms of RFDS, MTS 2 uses a low-power, cost effective RFDS placed on top of a card cage, intended for up
to 2 Base Radios. For MTS LiTE, the RFDS is placed beside the card cage intended for only 1 Base Radio.
The RFDS in MTS LiTE and MTS 2 is made up of the following:
• One or two Preselectors with integrated high performance low noise amplifier (LNA).
The supply voltage for the LNA is supplied through the RX out connected to the
Base Radios. The Preselector has two outlets for two Base Radios. The dimensions
of the filter are: 85 x 280 x 70 mm, excluding connectors. The antenna connectors
are DIN 7–16, the receive side is connected with QMA connectors. See the block
schematic of the MTS LiTE/MTS 2 Preselector in Figure 7-8.
In Table 7-1, Low Power is valid for 400 MHz, while High Power is valid
for both 400 MHz and 800MHz.
The numbers illustrated are applicable for TETRA.
The MTS 2 filter tray can carry up to two Duplexers and one Preselector or one Duplexer and two
Preselectors. There is also room for a Hybrid Combiner. The antenna connectors extend from the
MTS 2 junction panel and antenna cables are connected directly onto the filters.
In Table 7-2, Low Power is valid for 400 MHz and 260 MHz, while High Power is valid for both
400 MHz and 800 MHz.
The numbers illustrated are applicable for TETRA with TEDS numbers within parentheses.
Table 7-1 lists all filters configurations for MTS LiTE and Figure 7-2 and Figure 7-2
show the positions of filters in the filter tray.

four RX outputs (QMA). The supply voltage for the LNA is supplied through the RX ports.
• Hybrid Combiner - combining of four carriers on 2 TX antennas. Cavity Combiners
- combining of four carriers on 1 TX antenna.
MTS 4 is equipped with a digital power monitor to ensure diagnostic availability. The digital interface
has the same benefits as described for the MTS 2 digital VSWR monitor.
In Table 7-2, Low Power is valid for 400 MHz and 260 MHz, while High Power is valid for both
400 MHz and 800 MHz.
The numbers illustrated are applicable for TETRA with TEDS numbers within parentheses.
Table 7-3 MTS 4 RF Configurations
MTS 4 Preselector
The MTS 4 Preselector is a bandpass filter, which only allows the receiver signals to pass. With a bandwidth of:
• 5 MHz for 400 MHz version
• 6 MHz for 260 MHz version
• 19 MHz for 800 MHz version
The filter’s bandwidth is designed to block transmitter frequencies. The receive and transmit
bandpass are 10 MHz apart for 400 MHz, 9 MHz apart for 260 MHz, and 45 MHz apart for 800
MHz. The Preselector incorporates an LNA followed by an RMC.
The MTS 4 Preselector has four RX outputs and one expansion output.
In MTS 4, the Preselector has an integrated high performance LNA and RMC. The supply voltage for the
LNA is supplied through the RX out connected to the Base Radios.The Preselector has outputs for four Base
Radios The antenna connector is DIN 7–16. The receive side is connected by QMA connectors.
MTS 4 Duplexer
The Duplexer is a Preselector with an integrated receiver multicoupler (RMC) and a Post Filter
with a digital power monitor (DPM) combined into one unit. These form the two bandpass
filters that make up the Duplexer; one is a receive filter and the other a transmit filter. See
the block schematic of the MTS 4 Duplexer in Figure 7-23
For 400 MHz, the duplex spacing between a transmitter frequency and the corresponding receive
frequency is 10 MHz, with the transmitter frequency highest. This leaves a 5 MHz spacing between
the lowest possible transmit frequency and the highest possible receive frequency.
For 260 MHz, the duplex spacing between a transmit frequency and the corresponding receive
frequency is 9 MHz, and leaves a 3 MHz spacing between the lowest possible transmit
frequency and the highest possible receive frequency.
For 800 MHz, the duplex spacing between a transmit frequency and the corresponding receive
frequency is 45 MHz, and leaves a 19 MHz spacing between the lowest possible transmit
frequency and the highest possible receive frequency.
The MTS 4 Duplexer has 4 RX outputs and one expansion output. It can handle a maximum power 180 Watts.
RF energy hazard and potential equipment damage precaution: Turn off all
power to the Power Supply Unit before performing the following procedures to
prevent accidental contact with high energy and injury to personnel.

Cavity Combiner
Being tuned means that a cavity is within the insertion loss specification at the frequency of the applied
PI/4DQPSK or QAM4,16,64 signal that is within the average input power range specified above. Being tuned
also means that the cavity peak response is no greater than 25 kHz away from the TX carrier centre frequency.
If the TX carrier does not change channel or average power level, the auto tune algorithm will not initiate a
re-tuning on its own which exceeds +/- 300 kHz from the carrier frequency. The only exception occurs when
the fine tune timer event happens. The fine tune timer is used to compensate for large variations in humidity
and is default set to 480 Minutes. The Cavity Combiner is temperature compensated but large variations in
humidity can de-tune the cavities up to 150 kHz with the result of an increasing insertion loss.
When the fine tune timer event occurs, all cavities with RF applied will be re-tuned for maximum output
power of each TX carrier. The fine tune timer can be adjusted to compensate for fast humidity variations;
for instance if the MTS 4 is installed in outdoor sites without air-conditioning. The recommended
setting of the fine tune timer, if the MTS 4 is installed in a controlled environment, is 480 Minutes.
For sites where the MTS 4 is exposed to more than +/- 20% variation in RH, the recommended setting
of the fine tune timer is 60-200 minutes depending on the speed of the variation.
Having a second cavity tune up and pass through the desired channel, the desired channel’s insertion
loss dips no more than 3 dB more than the max insertion spec for a period of 0.25 seconds.
The cavity tuning rate should be faster than 1 MHz per second.
The following list contains control and monitoring features available through the CAN Bus:
• Request current tuned position/frequency of a specific cavity.
• Fine tune time feature, to re-tune each cavity with a specified interval.
• Park an individual cavity, but if RF power is still present, cavity will park and then retune again.
• Input power: request current measured input reflected power of a specific cavity.
• VSWR: request input VSWR of an individual cavity.
• Tuning status of each cavity; parked, tuning, tuned, and parking.
• Alarm conditions of each cavity are reported when requested, including : VSWR,
subband, channel spacing and failure to tune.
RF energy hazard and potential equipment damage precaution. Turn off power
to all Base Radios in the equipment cabinet being tuned before performing
the following procedures to prevent serious injury.
Refer to Chapter 6, "Configuration and Testing" for RFDS cabling diagrams, if required.

The purpose of the CAN Bus is to make a common communication bus between RFDS equipment, PSU and
the Site Controller. The CAN Bus connects to the Site Controller, PSU, DPM and ATCC. The modules on
the CAN Bus are assigned an address for the CAN Bus. Each node also needs to be assigned a functionality
in MTS when there are more than one modules of the same type. Mapping between track number, CAN
ID and function relies on the fact that the unique track number is available from each unit.
At initialization of the MTS the Site Controller is configured with a relation between track number and the
function of the node. This is done initially in a factory, but it is also possible to modify this in a service situation.
If a node is removed or is defective the Site Controller will know the track number of a FRU which is not
responding and therefore it can make a proper service report which tells exactly what FRU to replace. When
the service is carried out the track number of the defective FRU is replaced with the new track number
in the mapping list. Thus, the new track number is mapped to the function of replaced FRU.

15 If site is configured to support SC2 or SC3, the AuC will now report an error, for example:
Decryption failure received on site (12:1). Reprovision necessary
16 Item for site on AuC will be yellow. Return to Process 8-3, "MTS - Restoring the Site Controller
Software," on page 8-24.
1 Verify details of the configuration of E1 connection between MTS and CNE core router. In
particular check how many physical links will be used (one for star-like configuration, two for a
ring) and pattern of timeslots to be used. In case of standard configuration (one E1 site link,
timeslots 1 and 2) no further steps are necessary. If not, go to the next step.
2 Log in to the Site Controller.
For system releases up to R7.0 inclusive, be sure that the infrastructure supports
asymmetric time slot allocation for Base Stations with dual site link configuration. If
not, time slots for both channels of the Base Station must be the same.
4 If MTS is connected to the infrastructure with 1 E1 link, PVC1 carried by timeslots X1, X2,...,
PVC2 carried by timeslots Y1, Y2,..., execute the following sequence of MMI commands, SC>:
.e1config -siteLink single
.e1config -DI off
.e1config -channel 1 -portNo 1
.e1config -channel 2 -portNo 1
.e1config -channel 1 -tsPattern X1 X2 ...
.e1config -channel 2 -tsPattern Y1 Y2 ...
Please note that timeslots assigned to both channels can be identical. Timeslot
pattern can be passed as a list of slot numbers separated with spaces. Several
consecutive timeslots can be also passed in the format X1:XN.
Examples:
.e1config -channel 1 -tsPattern 1:31
assigns all timeslots from 1 to 31 to channel 1
.e1config -channel 1 -tsPattern 1 2 10:15
assigns timeslots 1,2,10,11,12,13,14,15 to channel 1.
Continue with step 9.
Timeslots configured for each separate site in the ring should be different.
Continue with step 9.
7 For up to 10 MTSs connected in the line topology (i.e. Core Router 1 -----MTS1-----MTS2---....-
----MTS10(last)) use the following commands on all MTSs execpt for the last one:
.e1config -siteLink single
.e1config -DI on
.e1config -channel 1 -portNo 1
.e1config -channel 2 -portNo 2
.e1config -channel 1 -tsPattern X1 X2 ...
.e1config -channel 2 -tsPattern X1 X2 ...
Timeslots configured for each separate site in the line must be different.
Configure the last MTS in the chain as follows:
.e1config -siteLink single
.e1config -DI off
.e1config -channel 1 -portNo 1
.e1config -channel 1 -tsPattern Y1 Y2 ...
For description of parameters listed above and instruction on how to configure them
refer to the TETRA BTS Service Software (TESS) User Guide.
It is recommended to use TESS tool for configuration of Ethernet site link,
especially during upgrade or migration procedures.
Mentioned parameters can be also configured via .ethconf engineering command
on Site Controller MMI. For details, please refer to help that is delivered with
this command by typing .ethconf -?.
After all parameters are configured properly and configuration file is loaded to the MTS, Ethernet link
configuration can be inspected by executing .ethconf -STATUS command on the Site Controller MMI.
An example output produced by .ethconf -STATUS command is shown below:
Option Current Next
Ethernet Sitelink type Single Single
Primary Vlan Tagging on on
Primary WAN IP Address NOT SET * 10.10.10.1
Primary WAN IP Mask NOT SET * 255.255.255.0

QOS EIR [kbit] 0 0
QOS EBS [bytes] 0 0
The .ethconf -STATUS command displays two sets of settings for each parameter:
• Current: contains settings that were read from configuration file during startup
and are currently used by Base Station
• Next: contains settings that can take effect after reset of Base Station.
* displayed in front of a particular parameter indicates that its value has been
changed by the user via .ethconf command. Before Those settings can be used,
they need to be successfully validated and saved in TSC configuration file.
This process is triggered by executing .ethconf save command. If
configuration cannot be successfully saved, User shall be instructed how to handle
detected errors and warnings as illustrated in the example below:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Configuration cannot be saved due to errors or warnings below
------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING: Primary VLAN tagging shall be ON if primary WAN gateway is not set
ERROR: Primary WAN interface VLAN ID shall be 1-4095
ERROR: Primary IP tunnel remote address must be set
------------------------------------------------------------------------
All errors must be corrected before configuration can be saved
Warnings listed above indicate that configuration contains
non-standard settings which migh result in incorrect operation of Base Station
To save configuration without correcting warnings, please use
’.ethconf save -force’ command.
When the Next values are successfully validated and saved into configuration file they
shall take effect after reset of Base Station.
Units not present should only be deleted if they are old mapped devices that have
been replaced.
4 Add all CAN bus units indicated as Track ID not mapped to the CAN bus unit mapping
list.
The unit Track ID is present on the unit label on the front panel.
Use can add_mapping <Device> <TrackID>, where <TrackID> is a TrackID of the
new unit and <Device> is the new unit name. Units have the following names: psu X, dpm X,
atcc X, where X denotes a digit between 0 and 3. See example below:
SC> can add_mapping dpm 2 JTH0500102
5 View the updated mapping list using the can check_mapping command and check that there
are no units labelled as Track ID not mapped or Units are not present.

How to Install
This section described how to install and configure an additional Site Controller, gaining
Redundant Site Controller functionality.
You must be familiar with Man-Machine Interface (MMI) commands and their
usage prior to performing procedures in this chapter. Improperly applying
MMI commands can result in equipment damage.
You must disable Black Ice or any other Firewall application before attempting to transfer files.
The MTS Site Controller has the following modes of operation:
• BOOT1 - to access this mode interrupt the booting process by pressing Escape
key or Control+C combination when appropriate message is shown. A
password may be required to enter this mode.
• Test Application - to access this mode enter the testapp command when in BOOT1
mode. To go back to normal Site Controller Application enter reset -oplatform
command to reboot and resume normal operation.
• Site Controller Application - if the boot process is not interrupted, this
is the default mode of operation.
When adding an additional (redundant) Site Controller there will be some service
downtime while making physical modifications.
Process 8-6 Adding Redundant Site CONTROLLER
1 Back up the Site Controller configuration of the existing Site Controller, See Process 8-2, "MTS
- Configuration Backup," on page 8-20.
This assumes that the existing Site Controller is properly configured and in service.
2 Add second Site Controller, see Procedure 8-25, "Add Additional Site CONTROLLER," on
page 8-47 below.
When adding a second Site Controller it will automatically become standby, meaning
that performance of the Site Controller post-restoration checks will not be possible.
In order to perform a Site Controller Post-restoration check on the second Site
Controller, the first Site Controller needs to be reset allowing the second Site
Controller to become active leading to interruption of service for several seconds.
8 Configure Redundant Site Controller feature. See Process 8-7 below.
1 Wear an ESD strap and connect its cable to a verified good ground. This strap must be worn
to prevent ESD damage to any components.
2 Remove the Site Controller Blind Plate.
3 Label the cables with labels included in the expansion kit.
4 Connect the Ethernet cables to the Base Radio(s) according to the scheme below:
Part number Cable type From To
3066544B02 Ethernet cable SC2 / BR4 BR4 / SC2
3066544B15 Ethernet cable SC2 / BR1 BR1 / SC2
3066544B16 Ethernet cable SC2 / BR2 BR2 / SC2
3066544B01 Ethernet cable SC2 / BR3 BR3 / SC2
Connect the ribbon cables at the rear before sliding the unit into the chassis. Be
careful not to damage the cables when sliding the Site Controller into place.
7 Secure the Site Controller in the chassis with two M4X10 captive screws.
8 Connect the Ethernet cables previously attached to the Base Radio(s) to the Site Controller. Also
connect the newly added Site Controller to the junction panel according to the scheme below:
Part number Cable type From To
3066543B10 RF Cable Junction Panel / E1 Y splitter
3066560B01 Y splitter SC1 / E1
3066567B02 Y splitter SC2 / E1
Make sure to follow the color indications on both the cables as well as on the Site
CONTROLLER.
11 Remove the Terminator from the CAN2 output on the Power Supply Unit and connect the CAN
Bus cable according to the scheme below:
Part number Cable type From To
3066544B03 CAN Bus cable SC2 / CAN PSU2 / CAN2

The content of this chapter is only supported in Dimetra IP system releases D6.0 and later.
This chapter covers the following topics:
• "XHUB Controller – Theory of Operation"
• "XHUB Controller – Indicators, Switches, and Connectors"
MTS 4 sites equipped with Site Controller Rev A or B may experience service interruption
to Base Radio(s) located in the Expansion Cabinet. Prior to Expansion Cabinet
installation, Site Controllers of Rev A or B must be sent to factory for FPGA upgrade
or replacement. Please see TIB 3592 for more information.
The eXpansion HUB (XHUB Controller) is a non-intelligent switching and interface module which plugs
into the Site Controller slot of MTS 4 Expansion Cabinet. With the usage of an Expansion Cabinet and an
XHUB, a station can be increased by a number of four Base Radios. The XHUB receive the CP3 interface
from the Site Controller in the Prime Cabinet, distribute the Enternet and timing as CP2 links to the Base
Radios in the Expansion Cabinet. The XHUB also have a door alarm input. The RFDS alarms is reported
through the CAN bus or the receivers. The XHUB has following modes of operation:
• Normal mode: XHUB Controller in the MTS 4 Expansion Cabinet has an active connection
with a Site Controller in the MTS 4 Prime Cabinet. The XHUB may be used to extend
the switching and interface capabilities of the Site Controller.
• Impaired Normal mode: If connection to the Site Controller of the MTS 4 Prime Cabinet
is lost, the XHUB Controller will go into Impaired Normal mode. It will return to Normal
mode as soon as the connection to the Site Controller is restored.
• Standalone mode: If no connection to the Site Controller is present when the XHUB
is turned ON or being Reset, it will go into Standalone mode. In order to go to
Normal mode, the XHUB Controller needs to be Reset again.
The Site Controller door alarm configuration is also valid for the XHUB.

Base Radio
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
The Base Radio provides reliable digital radio capabilities in a compact software-controlled design. High
channel capacity is provided through voice compression techniques and Time Division Multiplexing (TDM).
On the Base Radio front panel there are connectors and indicators. The indicators provide
a means for monitoring various status and operating conditions of the Base Radio, and also
aid in isolating failures. For more information on Base Radio indicators and connectors, see
"Base Radio - Indicators and Connectors" in this chapter.
The Base Radio (BR) provides reliable digital communications capabilities. Each Base
Radio contains the following subcomponents:
• Transceiver consisting of a Base Radio Controller, a triple receiver, and an exciter
• Power Amplifier (PA)
In the MTS 2 and 4, the Base Radio (BR) operates in conjunction with the Site Controller (SC) through a
properly terminated 100Base-T Ethernet link. Figure 10-3 shows an overall block diagram of the Base Radio.
On the front panel, there is a DC power input, three parallel receiver (RX) inputs, a high power
transmitter output signal from the power amplifier, a service port, two interfaces to the Site Controllers,
and LED indicators. For more information on the LED indicators, see Table 10-1.
Upon power-up, the BR performs self-diagnostic tests to ensure the integrity of the unit. These tests
are primarily confined to the BRC and include memory and Ethernet verification routines.
After the self-diagnostic tests are complete, the BR reports any alarm conditions present on any of its modules.
All alarms are reported to the Site Controller through the Ethernet LAN. Alarm conditions may also be verified
locally through the Service Access port on the front panel of the Base Radio and linked to a service computer.
The software resident in FLASH memory on the BRC registers the BR with the Site Controller through
the Ethernet LAN. Once registered, the Base Radio software is downloaded through the Ethernet
LAN and is executed from SDRAM. Operating parameters for the Base Radio are included in this
download. This software allows the Base Radio to perform call processing functions.
The Base Radio operates in a TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) mode. This mode, combined with
voice compression techniques, provides an increased channel capacity ratio of as much as 4 to 1. Both the
receive and transmit signals of the Base Radio are divided into four individual time slots. Each receive
slot has a corresponding transmit slot; this pair of slots comprises a logical RF channel.
The Base Radio uses single, dual, and triple diversity reception for increased talkback coverage
area and improved quality. The Transceiver contains a three-branch receiver section in which
all receivers are used for triple diversity reception.
All receivers within a given Base Radio are programmed to the same receive frequency. The signals
from each receiver are fed to the BRC where a diversity combining algorithm is performed on the
signals. The resultant signal is processed for error correction and then sent to the Site Controller through
the Ethernet LAN with the appropriate control information regarding its destination.
The transmit section of the Base Radio is comprised of the Exciter (EXC) and Power Amplifier (PA).
The EXC processes the information to transmit from the BRC in the proper modulation format. This
low level signal is sent to the Power Amplifier where it is amplified to the desired output power level.
The PA is a continuous-keyed linear amplifier. A power control routine monitors the output power
of the Base Radio and adjusts it as necessary to maintain the proper output level.
For information on the performance specifications, see Chapter 14, "Technical Specifications".
Transceiver (XCVR)
The transceiver provides the receive and transmit and control functions for the Base
Radio. The transceiver consist of three elements:
• Receiver-performs the receive function
• Exciter-performs the transmit function
• BR Controller-performs the control function
The receiver incorporates three separate receiver channels for use in diversity reception. The
bias for the LNAs in the Preselectors is supplied by bias circuitry in the receiver. A +7 V dc
voltage is the output on the QMA receive input connectors.
The receiver performs highly selective bandpass filtering and dual down conversion of the
station receive RF signal. A custom receiver IC outputs the baseband information in a digital
data format and sends it to the Base Radio controller.
The exciter in conjunction with the Power Amplifier (PA), provides the modulation and
transmitter functions for the Base Radio.
The transceiver contains the Base Radio Controller (BRC). The BRC serves as the main controller of the Base
Radio. The BRC provides signal processing and operational control for the other Base Radio circuit blocks.
The LEDs on the front panel indicate the status of the Base Radio monitored by the BRC. All LEDs on the
Base Radio front panel normally flash once from red to green upon initial power-up. A RESET button is
provided to allow a manual reset of the BR (by pressing the button for at least two seconds).
The operating software and configuration data are contained within the BRC flash memory. The software
defines operating parameters for the BR, such as output power and operating frequency.
In order to protect the key encryption key in use in the infrastructure, it is recommended
that this key is overwritten using the Key Variable Loader (KVL) device (through
the front serial port) prior to shipping for repair.
In order to avoid the risk of causing a high bit error rate to occur, do not use 385.572MHz
and 419.175MHz as receiving frequencies in the Base Radios of the MTS.
Power Amplifier
The Power Amplifier (PA) in conjunction with the exciter provides the transmitter functions for the
Base Radio. The Power Amplifier accepts the low-power modulated RF signal from the exciter and
amplifies the signal for transmission through the RF output connector.
For 400 MHz, three possible PAs are available, two high-power PAs and a low-power PA.
High-power PAs are available on two frequency bands:
• 350 MHz – 379 MHz
• 380 MHz – 470 MHz
For 400 MHz low-power PAs, the frequency band is 380 MHz – 470 MHz.
For the 260 MHz band, one low-power PA is available. The frequency band is 260 MHz– 275 MHz.
For the 800 MHz band, one high-power PA is available. The frequency band is 806 MHz – 870 MHz.

Power Supply Unit
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
Dependent on its configuration the MTS is equipped with one or two high efficiency switch mode Power
Supply Units (PSU). The PSU has a nominal AC input of 110 VAC/240 VAC (45-66 Hz) as well as a DC input
of –48 VDC. The PSU also has the capability to charge a 48 V backup battery during AC operation mode.
The PSU provides several DC output voltages to supply Base Radios, Site Controller, ATCC and Fans.
The PSU complies with the appropriate CE marking, EMC, EMI and safety requirements.
There is an ON/OFF switch on the front panel of the PSU module which con-
nects/disconnects DC output voltages.
The PSU operates in the following modes:
• DC only operation at -48 VDC (within -41 VDC to -60 VDC).
The MTS cabinet itself is wired to positive ground earth. The Power Supply Unit
has a floating DC ground concept.
For more information on PSU technical specifications please refer to "Power Supply Unit
Specifications" in Chapter 14, "Technical Specifications".
• No Fan 2: Prevents Fan 2 alarm (and associated LED) when no Fan 2 is connected. If the Fan 2
becomes present during operation, the Fan 2 alarm circuit will automatically be reactivated;
• No Fan 3: Prevents Fan 3 alarm (and associated LED) when no Fan 3 is connected. If the Fan 3
becomes present during operation, the Fan 3 alarm circuit will automatically be reactivated;
• Fan Factor: Fan factor is used to determine automatically calculated Fan supply voltage -
the higher factor is specified the higher voltage is calculated. The Fan Factor range is 0.5 -
2.0 (by default 1.0). In systems with only one BR this factor is typically set to 1.0.
Backup Battery
The Power Supply Unit (PSU) handles the automatic switchover to a backup battery in the event
of AC power supply failure. The MTS charges a backup battery during normal AC operation.
The backup battery normally is located near to the cabinet.
This battery is connected to the DC connector on the front panel of the PSU through Junction Panel. Refer to
Chapter 4, "Hardware Installation" and Chapter 5, "Interconnection and Internal Cabling" for more information.
The recommended batteries to be used are a Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) recombination
type, with -48 VDC nominal. Such as Enersys Power safe VFT type.
The PSU stops charging the backup battery on the following conditions:
• Internal PSU temperature: > 100 °C
• Battery Temperature*: < -12.5 °C
• Battery Temperature*: > 53 °C
*When a temperature sensor is connected to the battery and PSU. If the battery sensor is not
connected the battery will be charged with 54.24 ±1% VDC as if the battery temperature was 25
°C. The battery temperature monitored through CAN Bus will show 100 °C.
Fans
The PSU supplies fans, which are located in the fan trays under the module cage. For more
information on fans, see Chapter 12, "Cooling Fans". The PSU DC output voltage dedicated for
fans is 12 to 24 VDC and the output current is 1 A for each fan. Three fan connector outputs shall
supply three fan trays with two fans connected in parallel in each fan tray.
Fan supply output voltage can be automatically regulated as a function of PSU internal (ambient)
temperature and its output power. Fan supply output voltage can also be controlled by the CAN Bus in 7
steps from 24 V to 12 V. The highest value wins - automatic control versus CAN control.
At an ambient temperature below -10 °C the fans are stopped and restarted again at -8 °C. The fan
supply ramps up to 24 V output for a few seconds in all start up situations.
Figure 11-2 shows the positions of indicators, switches and connectors on the PSU front panel.
PSU Switch
Table 11-2 describes the PSU switch and Figure 11-2 shows its position.
Control Description
ON/OFF Switch This switch disconnects DC outputs and charging currents.
When the power switch is turned off the PSU still consumes 2 mA. If left connected to the
battery for a very long time with no mains power it could discharge the battery.
PSU Connectors

Cooling Fans
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
One or more fan modules generate an airflow through the MTS cabinets to manage their
temperature. Each module is comprised of two fans. Revolution of the fans is monitored
by a sensor. In the event of failure, an alarm is generated.
Low power configurations of MTS LiTE and MTS 2 can optionally operate with cooling fans.
The MTS card cage is able to contain fan kits which reside below the modules. The three fan kits
(max two for MTS LiTE) are supplied and controlled from the PSU with variable speed control.
This is in order to reduce the noise in normal temperature environments. The Fan speed is based
on the temperature of the modules. The latter require that the Site Controller software monitors the
module temperatures and through the CAN Bus controls the speed of the fans.
MTS LiTE and MTS 2 offer configurations which do not need fans. The temperature range is from -30
°C to 55 °C. If the temperature range is extended to 60 °C two fan kits for MTS LiTE or three fan kits
for MTS 2 need to be mounted. MTS 4 requires fans for all configurations. There is no need for fans
in MTS 2 for the low power PA BTS configurations. In other configurations three fan kits are needed
at the bottom of the card cages. There may be a reliability issue with the fans if operated below -10
°C. At an ambient temperature below -10 °C the fans are stopped and restarted again at -8 °C. The fan
supply ramps up to 24 V output for a few seconds in all start up situations.
The controls available through the CAN Bus for fans are:
• No Fan 1: Prevents Fan 1 alarm (and associated LED) when no fan 1 is configured.
• No Fan 2: Prevents Fan 2 alarm (and associated LED) when no fan 2 is configured.
• No Fan 3: Prevents Fan 3 alarm (and associated LED) when no fan 3 is configured.
Airflow
MTS LiTE:
The card cage has a clear opening in the bottom front and small holes in the side and back. Ambient
airflow enters at the bottom of the front, back and sides and passes up through the modules. The optimal
solution is to allow the air inlet from all sides. At the top of the card cage there is enough space for the
air to distribute and spread before passing out of the venting grill at the top. If there is nothing in close
area to sides, the air can also exit here. The airflow routing is the same with or without fans.
MTS 2:
The 2 BR card cage has a clear opening in the bottom front and small holes in the side and back. Ambient
airflow enters at the bottom of the front, back and sides and passes up through the modules. The optimal
solution is to allow the air inlet from all sides. At the top of the card cage there is enough space for the air to
distribute and spread. It then passes up through the filter section and out of the venting grill at the top. If there
is nothing in close area to sides, the air can also exit here. The airflow routing is the same with or without fans.
MTS 4:
In MTS 4 the airflow is different. The additional depth and width of the cabinet are used to guide and
separate ambient air intake and heated air outlet. For both card cages the main airflow of ambient air
enters at the front. At the bottom card cage the air can enter from all sides. For the top card cage the
air has to pass in front of and behind the bottom card cage. In the front, between the modules and the
cabinet door. In the back, between the bottom card cage back and the back of the cabinet. The flow is
obstructed by an insert which guides the hot air from the bottom card cage out to the sides and up between
the top card cage and the cabinet sides. The exhaust from the top card cage could be partly obstructed
by a Cavity Combiner situated above. The exhaust can occur on all sides. No obstructions are inserted.
Due to the obstructions in the airflow, fans are required for all configurations of MTS 4.
The fans have a low rpm alarm indication. Each fan module (part no. WALN4381) has two fans
inside. In case of failure, one of the fans still gives an airflow. Therefore the fan module is not
considered a periodic maintenance component, but is only replaced when it fails.
Cooling
Natural convection cooling is applied. For example there is no fan when MTS 2 operates with a load
of 295W for 2 BRs, low power PA, plus a charge current of 3 A @ + 30 °C.
Forced air from fans placed below units is used when for example MTS 4 operates with a
load of 640W for MTS 4 with 2 BRs, MTCC, high power PA plus a charge current of 6 A
@ + 30 °C. For all configurations of MTS, see Table 3-6
When unplugging the connector from the PSU, wait a few second for the fans to stop.

E1 LEDs: RED Primary E1 failure LOS, - Verify the cabling
Link down - If no change replace E1 cable
Troubleshooting: Power
• Check for Power Supply Unit failure.
• Verify power (voltage and polarity) on rear connector. If power is present and correct then
replace the Site Controller. Otherwise check for the Site Controller power supply cabling fault.
Ensure that the polarity of DC cable connection is correct, as it is reversed in comparison to MBTS.
Troubleshooting: status sc
This section details usage of the Application mode MMI command status sc for general
troubleshooting and to determine the Site Controller status.
Use the status sc command. Observe the “Overall Status” field of the resulting output and proceed as follows.
• If Overall Status = Active – <state> / <reason>, this is an indication that the Site Controller
is currently active, together with the site reference state and the reason for that state.
These states and reasons are explained in Table 13-2 and Table 13-3.
• If Overall Status = SC is going active – waiting for BRs, the Site Controller may
be unable to communicate with the BRs. Waiting for Site Controller configuration
file load, the configuration file may be corrupt or is not present. See "LED Fault
Indications " and "Troubleshooting: SC Config File".
Using the ls command first ensures that the information shared between ls and attrib is synchronised.
1. Use the ls command to produce a listing of all files on the Site Controller. There is no wildcard
option with ls. Check the files of interest that do not have any warning after their details. This
shows only a small part of the typical output.
In this example tsc.cf.1 looks like a valid file, whilst tsc.cf.2 has a bad header warning
so it can’t be valid. The ‘.bk1’ indicates that the file is back-up copy 1.
2. Use command attrib tsc.cf* to produce a listing of the configuration files attributes of the Site
Controller.
Note which file has the ‘c’ (Current) attribute and ensure that:
◦ It also has the ‘r’ (read) attribute. If the file has the w (write) attribute, it is not valid.
◦ Also check the generic file title (‘tsc.cf’ in this case) shares the
same version and date information.
If there is no valid file then this should be downloaded to the Site Controller again, using
either Dimetra BTS Service Software or Software Download (SWDL.)

external/internal GPS receiver.
GPS State = SITE SURVEY: The GPS receiver will operate in this state for several hours
after an MTS is started in a new location for the first time. The GPS receiver is attempting
to determine accurate coordinates to enable operation in position hold.
If the status sri MMI command indicates that there are no satellites tracked,
then there may be a possible hardware fault. Refer to "GPS Receiver Detailed
Troubleshooting" on page 13-13 for further details.

If status sri -gps returns no data or most fields are set to ’unknown’, the internal GPS chip is most likely
not operational and requires a reset. Reset the GPS chip by using the command reset gps.
Check GPS status by using the command status sri -t as shown below.

• If the Antenna status field displays open or short circuit, check the integrity
of the antenna cabling or replace the antenna.
• PDOP: Positional Dilution of Precision – it is a measure of geometrical strength of
GPS satellite configuration. If lower value – accuracy is better.
Initial Verification
The suggested utility used to verify the IP pathway to the two Core Routers is the ping MMI command.
Pings should be attempted to both Core Routers using both the default ping packet size of 32 bytes as
well as using a packet size larger than the configured Frame relay fragmentation size. If router can
be successfully pinged using the default size of 32, but pings using the large size are unsuccessful,
this indicates an error in the configuration for Frame relay fragmentation.

If the counter labeled "Number of discards when disabled" is not zero, this indicates that frame relay
fragmentation is disabled on the Site Controller, but enabled on the remote equipment. If however, there are
non zero values for the counters labeled "Transmit Framed fragmented" and "Number of fragments transmitted"
but the counters labeled "Number of received fragments" and "Number of received frames" are zero, this
would indicate that the remote equipment has not been configured for FRF.20 frame relay fragmentation.
IP and Audio
If - however - all is well with the site link, but there are issues with no uplink or downlink audio, the
likely culprits are either the configuration of the UDP port used for voice, the CRTP configuration
- or both. A quick check can be made for crtp activity by typing status crtp.
SC) status crtp
Compressed Frame Count 0
Decompressed Frame Count 99
Contexts Invalidated 1
Tx Context State Packets 0
Rx Context State Packets 0
Tx Full Header Packets 0
Rx Full Header Packets 1
Discards when disabled 0
If the compressed frame count is zero, check the configuration to determine if CRTP is - indeed
- enabled. If the decompressed frame count is zero, check the CRTP configuration on the core
router in order to ensure this is enabled, and not set to "passive"
If - however, the decompressed counter is non zero, it would indicate that the Site Controller is receiving
downlink audio, however - the packets are not getting processed for some other reason. It should then be
determined if the IP layer is discarding the received audio packets - this can be a result of not enabling
header extensions with CRTP on the core router. The command to use is netstat -a.
The section of interest would be the UDP statistics:
UDP datagrams delivered to UDP users 14114
UDP datagrams received for unknown ports 234
UDP datagrams received with other errors 0
UDP datagrams sent from this entity 14117
Input datagrams received from interfaces 14364
Drops due to format errors 0
Drops due to invalid addresses 0
IP datagrams forwarded 0
IP datagrams discarded due to unknown protocol 0
Input datagrams discarded with no problems 0
Datagrams delivered to IP user-protocols 14364
Datagrams supplied by IP user-protocols 14369
If there are issues with configuration for CRTP "header extensions", this will be indicated by the
counter labeled "UDP datagrams received for unknown ports or with other errors".
Site Link
Troubleshooting the Site Link essentially consists of checking the correct operation of each
layer in the order starting with the physical layer.
The physical layer may be configured to be either E1 or X.21. The status bsl command
provides different information for the two interface types.
X.21 Interface
If the Site Link interface had been configured to use X.21 interface, the information
provided by the status bsl command is as follows:
SC) status bsl
X.21 Interface:-
Clock Loss events : 2
I Line Off events : 0
Current Clock state : Failed
Current I Line state : On
Current C Line state : Off
• The Site Link State should be shown as ‘UP’, the number of good frames transmitted and
received should be non-zero and incrementing indicating site link traffic. The presence of
non-zero data in other numeric fields may indicate a possible Site Link Problem.
• Verify that the ‘Current I Line and C Line states’ are shown as ‘ON’ and that
the ‘Current Clock state’ is shown as ‘OK’.
E1 Interface
If the site link interface had been configured to use an E1 interface, the state of the E1
interface may be determined by inspection of the front panel LEDs on the Site Controller.
E1 error conditions are indicated using its LEDs:
• If LED is AMBER – FE, CRC, BPV, PD
• If LED is RED – LOS
The LEDs labeled as "1", "2", on E1 port indicate the physical E1 port that had been configured
for the Site Link using the .e1config MMI command.
Aborts : 0
Non octet aligned : 0
E1 Statistics:-
Second timer expired : 11 Remote Alarm :0
Line Loss : 0 Framer Rx Data Overflow :0
Frame alignment Loss : Failed Framer Tx Data Underrun :0
AIS : On Negative Rx clock slip :0
CRC4 Error : Off Positive Rx clock slip :0
Errored Seconds : 0 Negative Tx clock slip :0
Bipolar Violation : 0 Positive Tx clock slip :0
E1 Configuration:-
crc4:on crdStart:1 crd:1 ts16Skip:on Port:1 Clock:External
For E1, the E1 statistics provide a running count of errors encountered or detected on the E1
interface. These include a count of the potential link loss errors as indicated by the front panel
LEDs. For convenience, the current E1 time slot configuration is also shown.
The HDLC statistics provide a running counter of HDLC frames transmitted and received on the site
link interface as shown by the "Good frames" counters. Incrementing counters with the absence of
incrementing error counters such as CRC/framing errors, Aborts, or Non octet aligned errors indicates the
correct transmission and reception of HDLC frames. Persistent large numbers of HDLC errors on an
interface configured for E1 indicates errors in the configuration of the E1 data time slots.
The current configuration for frame relay, and the current state of the primary and backup PVC may
be determined using the status fr MMI command. If both PVCs are indicated as ACTIVE, the
number of state changes for each PVC, the time in the current state, and the time in an active state
should be inspected in order to determine the stability of the two PVCs as determined by the LMI
link management protocol. If there is indication of rapid transitioning of the states of the PVCs,
or the two PVCs are indicated as inactive - special attention should be given to the DLCI values
displayed. If this is correct, this indicates a problem with the LMI layer.
SC) status lmi
LMI frames transmitted 0
LMI frames received 0
Number of PVC state changes 2
Number of status inquiries tx 0
Number of status responses rx 0
Number of full status inquiries 0
Number of full status rx 0
Current primary PVC state 1
Current backup PVC state 1
Number of discards when disabled 0
The frames transmitted and the frames received counters should be incrementing between successive
invocations of status lmi . If the received counter is not incrementing, this indicates that the remote
equipment is not responding to LMI enquiry packets transmitted by the Site Controller - the problem
is probably external to the Site Controller. However, if the receive counter is incrementing, it would
indicate a configuration issue, either with the LMI configuration, or with the configuration of the DLCI's
for the PVCs, check the DLCI numbers displayed by using the status fr command for the DLCI
numbering, and use the display config command to verify the configuration for LMI.
Site Router
-------------
CRTP enable : Enabled(1)
CRTP context state packet time : 1000
CRTP session timeout : 3500
LMI enable : Enabled(1)
LMI full status polling counter (n391) : 6
LMI LIV time (t391) : 300
LMI error threshold (n392) : 3
LMI monitored events count (n393) : 4
Type of Service Latency Time : 5
Frame relay fragmentation size (bytes) : 80
Note that if LMI has been disabled in the Site Controller's configuration, no LMI exchanges will
take place, and the two PVCs will be marked as permanently active. In normal configurations
this may be as a result of an unintended configuration error.
The built-in system troubleshooting intelligence is mainly accessed through the Site Controller and
Base Radio Controller(s) LED, Man-Machine Interface (MMI) status and fault indications. This
section describes the Base Radio, RFDS and miscellaneous troubleshooting.

Troubleshooting Procedures
The Base Radio is computer-controlled and employs digital signal processing techniques. Many
of the troubleshooting and station operation procedures require Man-Machine Interface (MMI)
commands. These commands are used to communicate station level commands to the Base Radio
through the RS-232 communications port located on the front of the BRC.
The field maintenance philosophy for the Base Radio is to repair by replacement. The station
is comprised of self-contained Field Replaceable Units (FRU).
A defective FRU is replaced with a non-defective module. This method of troubleshooting limits
down-time and quickly restores the Base Radio back to normal operation.
Ship defective modules to a Motorola repair depot for repair.
This manual provides two troubleshooting procedures for the Base Radio. Each procedure
is designed to quickly identify faulty modules.
Routine Checkout
Procedure 1 is a quick, non-intrusive test performed during a routine site visit. Use this
procedure to verify proper station operation without taking the station out of service. Figure

Configuration
When the additional Base Radio has been installed properly it needs to be configured and verified.
In order to do so, follow Process 6-3, "Base Radio Configuration," on page 6-14.
In addition to this, the following parameters need to be configured in TESS application:
• Factory password
• Field password
• Cabinet ID
• Position ID
• Carrier Number (TX/RX frequencies are auto-generated based on Carrier Number setting)
• Default TX Power level
When these parameters have been configured in TESS Application and after the
modified configuration file has been uploaded to the Site Controller, the complete site
needs to be reset to implement the configuration change.
How to Install
Follow the procedure below to add a second module cage to the MTS 4 cabinet.
Procedure 15-3 How to Add an Additional Module Cage to MTS 4
You may have to temporarily remove the fans in order to fasten the screws.
8 If applicable, remove the Power Supply Unit Blind Plate.
If Power Supply Unit has been pre-assembled in your configuration, jump directly
to Step 8.
9 Place the Power Supply Unit on the slide rails in the Module Cage and push it to the back.
10 Secure the Power Supply Unit to the Module Cage with the two M4x10 Torx screws and lock
the washers.

If Base Radio being added is the second Base Radio in a Module Cage (BR2 or
BR4), DC Power Cable (3066545B01) is already existing in configuration.
Configuration
No configuration in itself is needed for the module cage, but the Power Supply Unit needs to be
configured and this is described in "PSU TrackID Update" on page 11-11.
Installation and configuration of additional Base Radios are described separately in "Adding Additional
Base Radio into Existing Module Cage for MTS 4" on page 15-15.
Furthermore, if an additional Site Controller is ordered as a separate expansion kit, it needs to be
installed and configured, see "Adding Redundant Site Controller" on page 15-26.
This section describes how to add a Base Radio into an existing module cage of the MTS 4.
How to Install
Follow the procedure below to install an additional Base radio for MTS 4. The images below illustrate
cable connections before adding a third Base Radio to the configuration.
1 Remove the Blind Plate where the additional Base Radio is to be added.
2 Label all Rx cables with labels included in the expansion kit.

Index numbers in table above refer to cable connections shown in Figure 15-11.
If the Ethernet cable is being wired from a Base Radio in one Module Cage to a Site
Controller in another Module Cage, the Ethernet cable is to be drawn outside of
the Module Cage.
6 Insert the additional Base Radio by aligning the side rails with the appropriate rail guides inside
the Base Radio chassis.
7 Gently push the additional module completely into the Base Radio chassis assembly using
the module handle(s). Be careful not to damage any of the cables previously connected when
pushing the Base Radio into position.
8 Secure the additional module using two TORX screws. Tighten the screws to a torque of 2.7 Nm.
9 Connect the Power cables, Ethernet cable, Tx cable and Rx cables to the BR front plate.

Cables 15, 16, 17, and 18 in Figure 15-9 have been added during expansion.
Figure 15-10 RF Cabling Diagram of MTS 4 with two TX ant. after Expansion
Cables 15, 16, 17, and 18 in Figure 15-10 have been added during expansion.
Configuration
Basic configuration of base radios is needed when additional base radio(s) has been added to the MTS
4 cabinet. This is described in Process 6-3, "Base Radio Configuration," on page 6-14.
Base radios in the second Module Cage should be configured with cabi-
net:position set as 1:3 and 1:4.
For configurations with Manual Tuned Cavity Combiner(s), the MTCC needs to
be tuned after adding additional Base Radio.
In addition to this, the following parameters need to be configured in TESS application:
• Factory password
• Field password
• Cabinet ID
• Position ID
• Carrier Number (TX/RX frequencies are auto-generated based on Carrier Number setting)
• Default TX Power level
When these parameters have been configured in TESS Application and after the
modified configuration file has been uploaded to the Site Controller, the complete site
needs to be reset to implement the configuration change.
This section describes how to add an additional (redundant) Site Controller to MTS 4. In order to be
able to add a redundant Site Controller, two module cages must be present in the MTS 4.
How to Install
This section described how to install and configure an additional Site Controller, gaining
Redundant Site Controller functionality.
You must be familiar with Man-Machine Interface (MMI) commands and their
usage prior to performing procedures in this chapter. Improperly applying
MMI commands can result in equipment damage.
You must disable Black Ice or any other Firewall application before attempting to transfer files.
The MTS Site Controller has the following modes of operation:
• BOOT1 - to access this mode interrupt the booting process by pressing Escape
key or Control+C combination when appropriate message is shown. A
password may be required to enter this mode.
• Test Application - to access this mode enter the testapp command when in BOOT1
mode. To go back to normal Site Controller Application enter reset -oplatform
command to reboot and resume normal operation.
• Site Controller Application - if the boot process is not interrupted, this
is the default mode of operation.
When adding an additional (redundant) Site Controller there will be some service
downtime while making physical modifications.
Process 15-2 Adding a Redundant Site Controller
1 Back up the Site Controller configuration of the existing Site Controller, See Process 8-2, "MTS
- Configuration Backup," on page 8-20.
This assumes that the existing Site Controller is properly configured and in service.
2 Add second Site Controller, see Procedure 15-5 below.
3 Restore the Site Controller Software on the second Site Controller, see Process 8-3, "MTS -
Restoring the Site Controller Software," on page 8-24.
4 Configure E1 Links on the second Site Controller, see Procedure 8-12, "MTS - How to Configure
E1 Links," on page 8-30.
5 Configure CAN Bus on the second Site Controller, see "MTS - Configuring CAN Bus" on
page 8-35.
6 Load Ki’s into MTS. See "MTS - Loading Ki's Into MTS" on page 8-36.
7 Check the MTS post-restoration checks. See "MTS - Site Controller Post-Restoration Checks"
on page 8-41.
When adding a second Site Controller it will automatically become standby meaning
that performance of Site Controller post-restoration checks will not be possible.
In order to perform a Site Controller Post-restoration check on the second Site
Controller, the first Site Controller needs to be reset allowing the second Site
Controller to become active leading to interruption of service for several seconds.
8 Configure Redundant Site Controller feature. See "Configuring Redundant Site Controller"
on page 15-30 below.
1 Wear an ESD strap and connect its cable to a verified good ground. This strap must be worn
to prevent ESD damage to any components.
2 Remove the Site Controller Blind Plate.
3 Label the cables with labels included in the expansion kit.
4 Connect the Ethernet cables to the Base Radio(s) according to the scheme below:
Part no Cable type From To
3066544B02 Ethernet cable SC2 / BR4 BR4 / SC2
3066544B15 Ethernet cable SC2 / BR1 BR1 / SC2

3066544B01 Ethernet cable SC2 / BR3 BR3 / SC2
Connect the ribbon cables at the rear before sliding the unit into the chassis. Be
careful not to damage the cables when sliding the Site Controller into place.
7 Secure the Site Controller in the chassis with two M4X10 captive screws.
8 Connect the Ethernet cables previously attached to the Base Radio(s) to the Site Controller. Also
connect the newly added Site Controller to the junction panel according to the scheme below:

Process 15-3 How to Configure Redundant Site Controllers
1 Perform Site Controller Hardware Pre-Checks, as described in Procedure 15-6, "Site Controller
Hardware Pre-Checks," on page 15-31.
2 Configure the Site Controller Configuration Files, see Procedure 15-7, "Site Controller
Configuration Files," on page 15-31.
1 Ensure that both Site Controllers are correctly installed and are running identical software
applications, Boot images and configuration files.
2 In order for the Redundant Site Controller feature to work correctly, the Site Controller and
BR Boot1 version must be:
• TSC_RLJ_BOOT1–R06.40.07 or later for SC.
• BRC_RLJ_BOOT1–R06.40.05 or later for Base Radio.
The Boot1 version can be checked on the Site Controller and BRs by resetting the
Site Controller/BR and interrupting the startup sequence when prompted to go into
Boot1 mode. The software version is displayed when entering Boot1 mode.
3 Check that the redundant Site Controller Ethernet Link cables are connected correctly, as shown
in Figure 15-11.
4 Proceed to Procedure 15-7 below.
In order to check that the Site Controller configuration files have the Standby Site
Controller Installed parameter enabled, follow the steps below.
If the IP addresses are set correctly (as stated in lists prior to this procedure),
continue to Step 8 below.
If the IP addresses are set incorrectly, they must be changed as follows in the next
step.
5 Log onto Boot1 of the Site Controller.
6 From the prompt, run the command spw inet/if/eth0 “dhcp:no
addr:10.0.253.X mask:255.255.255.0 dev_name:tsec dev_unit:0
ethaddr:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy mtu:1500”
For an MTS using a single Site Controller, the Ethernet settings should be checked
using the ifconfig -a command from the SC application prompt. From the
output, confirm that the eth0 and eth1 ports are configured as expected. See Procedure
below for more information on how to set SC IDs.
Procedure 15-9 Configure Site Controller IDs
It does not matter if it is the ID value of SC1 or SC2 that is changed, as long as they
do not have the same ID value.
6 From the SC: prompt, run the command id x where x can be either A or B. Make sure to define
a value different for the two Site Controllers.
7 Reset the Site Controller.
This section describes how to expand from a two-channel Cavity Combiner to a four-channel
Cavity Combiner. There are two types of Cavity Combiners for MTS 4 - Auto Tune Cavity

Note that the prime cabinet/expansion cabinet has ventilation holes and
is not suitable for environmentally unfriendly locations. Make sure the
ventilation holes and grilles are never covered.
It is recommended that periodic inspections of the heatsinks and interior of the MTS
are made. These will require cleaning occasionally due to the buildup of dust. The
frequency of this inspection is dependent upon the local environment and is more important
when the MTS is operating at a high ambient temperature.
Where used, the back-up battery charged by the MTS should be checked in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

The static grounding wrist strap (Motorola P/N 4280385A59) must always be used when
handling any board or module within the MTS. Many of the boards or modules used in the
MTS equipment are vulnerable to damage from static charges.
Extreme care must be taken while handling, shipping, and servicing these boards or modules.
To avoid static damage, observe the following precautions:
• Prior to handling, shipping, and servicing MTS equipment, connect a wrist strap to the
grounding clip on the equipment cabinet which is located at the bottom of the cabinet and
marked with a yellow label. This discharges any accumulated static charges.
• Avoid touching any module, board circuitry, including any connector pins with your hands.
• Before removing a board or module, disconnect its individual power supply first.
• Avoid carpeted areas, dry environments, and certain types of clothing (silk, nylon, and
so on) during service or repair due to the possibility of static buildup.
• Apply power to the circuit under test before connecting low impedance test equipment
(such as pulse generators). When testing is complete, disconnect the test equipment
before power is removed from the circuit under test.
• Be sure to ground all electrically powered test equipment. Connect a ground lead (-) from
the test equipment to the board or module before connecting the test probe (+). When
testing is complete, remove the test probe first, then remove the ground lead.
• Lay all circuit boards and modules on a static dispersive surface (a proper
antistatic map) when removed from the system. This mat will be connected
to ground through a high resistance element.
• Never use non-conductive material for packaging modules being transported. All modules
should be wrapped with anti-static packaging material. Replacement modules shipped from
the factory are packaged in a conductive material, for example, antistatic bag.
The purpose of the ESD socket built into the cabinet housing is to give a service or installation technician a
point to which a wire from a wrist strap can be connected. This is for ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection.
1. Use of an ESD wrist strap and ESD earthing point
Special attention must be made to the cable that connects the Duplexer and Preselector
RX outputs to the inputs of the RMC. Never connect or disconnect this cable
without using a correctly earthed ESD wrist strap.
